Does it really matter which method you use? We think it does.

Common weighing systems such as on board truck scales are not the complete measurement solution.

• Don’t account for bulk density changes, nor enable density changes to be accurately tracked.
• Usually require frequent (and costly) maintenance and calibration.
• Large trucks must stop and settle on static weighbridges to register accurate weight. As a result, 1 to 2 loads per shift per truck could be lost = higher cost per tonne hauled.
• Dynamic weighing systems are susceptible to heavy trucks moving the scale’s foundations, causing inaccurate measurements (scale motion can reduce accuracy by 3-5% or worse).
• On board truck scales (which are sensitive to calibration issues) require a system on every truck, dramatically increasing costs.
