AxleCheck is the essential axle weight calculator built for truck drivers, owner-operators, and fleet managers who need fast, accurate weight compliance checks at the scale. Enter your three scale readings and AxleCheck instantly calculates your individual axle weights — no manual math, no guesswork. HOW IT WORKS Simply enter: 1. Steer axle weight (front axle only) 2. Steer + drive combined weight 3. Total gross vehicle weight AxleCheck automatically calculates your drive axle and tandem axle weights, then checks each against federal legal limits. FEDERAL WEIGHT LIMITS (FHWA) • Steer Axle: 12,000 lbs • Drive Axles: 34,000 lbs • Tandem Axles: 34,000 lbs • Gross Vehicle Weight: 80,000 lbs INSTANT COMPLIANCE STATUS Each axle shows a clear LEGAL, WARNING, or OVER status with a visual progress bar so you know at a glance where you stand before you roll. WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT GUIDELINES Not sure how far to slide your tandems or 5th wheel? AxleCheck includes practical adjustment estimates right in the app: • ~250 lbs per tandem hole adjustment • ~150–250 lbs per 5th wheel slide (varies by manufacturer) BUILT-IN CALCULATOR A full calculator is included so you can do quick weight math without leaving the app — no switching between apps at the scale.
