Truck Scale Calculator is a utility app designed to assist truck drivers in analyzing the weights of their axles. It is designed for rigs which are either: 1) 3 axle sets, including steers, drives, and tandems; or, 2) 4 axle sets, including steers, drives, and two different spread axles. It is also designed to input the scale readings from either a short platform or long platform scale. For long scales, it can compute for either "scaling on" or "scaling off" - i.e., gross weight first or last. Once the readings are entered, the app calculates the weights on each axle set and displays them in a summary screen. Weights that exceed the predefined limits (which can be adjusted in settings) are displayed in red. Then, the user can adjust the fifth wheel toward the front or back, and the steer axle and drive axles weights will be adjusted according to a predefined amount which can be adjusted by the user. For tandem rigs, the user can adjust the tandem slide toward the front or back as well. ## Key features - Axle weight calculation - Supports 3 and 4 axle configurations - Handles short and long platform scales - Adjustable weight limits - Fifth wheel and tandem slide adjustments - Highlights overweight axles ## Recent user reviews (10 of 20) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/truck-scale-calculator/id1093882804/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Great help *2023-07-23, version 1.4* Great help when you need a second opinion fast. I used app for couple of years and would not trade it. It is simple and very fast to use. No hassle involved. ### 1/5 — Needed a DRIVE AXLE fix *2022-11-12, version 1.4* Waste of $2.99….., was willing to spend it on a whim to get desired results, but got suckered ### 4/5 — Good so far *2022-10-09, version 1.4* Been fairly accurate so far, again the only issue is figuring your zero pin point (if I’m in the 20th hole it reads like I’m in the 15th) balances out every time though. Easier working front to back ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-02-19, version 1.4* This app is amazing worth every penny , it saves me so much time to sit there and calculate everything on a calculator especially when I’m running late somewhere I can just drive up and put in every number right away drive then drive+steer and then whole gross weight , I was looking for a app like this for a while now and this is the only one that I know exist like this every other app wasn’t what I needed ! ### 5/5 — QUICKLY ADJUST MY WEIGHT *2021-10-24, version 1.4* really good app for truckers ### 2/5 — Waste *2021-04-07, version 1.4* Waste of money don’t buy ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-09-14, version 1.4* This is very helpful. Easy to use . And some what very accurate. ### 4/5 — Unclear Pin Movement *2019-09-08, version 1.4* I like the app. Easy to use with one exception. If your pin is in home #5 and the app says minus 3. Does that mean move the on forward or back? Re-label the tabs from plus and minus to forward and back. Thx ### 5/5 — Great.. Can customize my requirements.... *2019-02-17, version 1.4* One suggestion... Option to enable unit conversion KGS vs LBS... Eg.. I know my weights in LBS but weighing in on a Canadian MTO scale in KGS... So instead of converting manually have a but to flip between once all data is entered and calculated or display them simultaneously side by side after you hit calculate. Thx! Till now i have been using Slide on Android but he hasn't been developing it for many years. ### 3/5 — Could be better *2018-11-02, version 1.4* Would get a better rating if it had a convert from Lbs to Kgs and Kgs to Lbs option. Also needs a way to share and save. ## Frequently asked questions about Truck Scale Calculator ### What truck configurations does Truck Scale Calculator support?
