This is the Pro version of the Mouse Scale app for drivers and motor carriers: for the digitization of load control in truck transportation. We will teach you to professionally use drivers' PSI suspension pressure gauges and fuel level gauges to calculate 27 useful weight parameters of the truck, trailer and cargo. You will be able to balance the load between axles according to weather conditions, and to determine the cargo weight and the position of its center of mass. This data will be useful for the development of associated transportation: using free space in the trailer to transport additional cargo. The unwritten rule of this industry is: whoever determines the weight takes the carriers' money. So use a handheld tire pressure gauge to control the trailer suspension load and earn a fair reward from the motor carrier for saving resources and reducing the risk of accidents. For Mouse Scale, complying with weight limits alone is not enough. Our mission is for you to come home from your trips alive and unharmed, with more money earned. We share knowledge: the Learn section has useful videos and lessons of the new truck math. Terms of Use: https://mouse-scale-shop.vercel.app/en/terms-and-conditions

ParkAlive — What is ParkAlive? A community-powered parking network — built for trucks, available for cars & motorcycles too. ParkAlive is a real-time, community-based parking app. On one live map, drivers share and discover parking before they arrive — not static lots, but real spots posted by drivers on the road. Truck Mode is at the heart of ParkAlive: professional drivers and fleets find, filter, and reserve truck parking with the details that matter — vehicle compatibility, max length, and on-site services. Cars and motorcycles are fully supported in the same app, with the same community Live-Map and reserve flow. Parking isn't just about finding a space — it's about managing your route and your time. With ParkAlive you can: Arrive on time with a spot already locked in Cut idle miles and wasted fuel Reduce last-minute stress on tight schedules Save time. Take control. Truck parking: a live, driver-powered map Every day, trucks lose hours circling for a safe, suitable stop. ParkAlive changes that. In Truck Mode, drivers post truck parking spots on a live map — available now or opening soon. Other drivers see length limits, compatible vehicle types (van, rigid truck, semi-trailer, long vehicle, oversize), and services like fuel, showers, toilets, food, 24h access, AdBlue, EV charging, truck wash, and more. Once a spot is reserved, it stays visible to you and the sharer — not to everyone else racing for the same space. No more endless loops. No more guessing if your rig will fit. What you can do in Truck Mode Find truck stops instantly on the community map Filter by length and vehicle type — park what you actually drive See what's on site before you commit Spot clusters — see how many options are nearby Reserve ahead — including spots opening up soon Share your spot when you leave (now or at a set time) Share multiple spotted stops around you when useful Plan your route with truck-focused tools in app Forward Radar — get alerted when matching truck parking is posted along your corridor Cars & motorcycles: same live map, share, reserve, and community logic — built for everyday urban parking. Reserve & connect Found a truck stop opening up soon? Reserve it in advance Coordinate with the driver via guided quick messages Sync your arrival and departure in real time It's like having someone hold a spot on your route — not a generic pin on a map. A smarter community ParkAlive works because drivers share. When a truck leaves a stop, they can post it. When you need one, you can find it — with the specs your job requires. Even a small local network (neighbors, depots, regular routes) can transform the parking experience. Invite colleagues and build density on your corridor. Share a stop today — save hours tomorrow. Premium features Upgrade with ParkAlive Premium: Custom Radar alerts — get notified when truck (or car/moto) parking is posted in your selected area Reserve anytime — including spots opening more than 10 minutes out (free tier has tighter timing) First pick of the best spots the community posts Less stress, more control on every run Your feedback matters ParkAlive is built with its users. Send feedback from the app and help shape smarter parking for trucks, fleets, and everyday drivers. Why ParkAlive Save time on every trip Fewer empty miles and less fuel wasted searching Less stress behind the wheel Better planning for trucks, vans, and daily car commutes Be part of a network that gets stronger mile by mile ParkAlive is not just an app. It's a better way to run your route — starting with truck parking, open to cars & motorcycles in the same community.
