  1. Do you have a link to the video. You saw?


    I've done mine this way for years. I've never trusted the air system to be consistent on my spread axle loads.

    I will look at home for my. Axles sheets I have already 5

    Now I can't find it. Maybe it was a similar thread. Might have to use my computer instead of phone to find it.
     
  5. I took that pic from the CAT website

    It's the same as the video.

    I just told @Chewy352 how to word it so if your dealing with a noob cashier who hasn't weighted a spread axle.
     
    DsquareD Thanks this.

    @Chewy352 if your concerned about your axles and dealing with the cashier which usually has no idea what their doing I usually just get a gross, then go in get the ticket then go back for a reweigh. The second time I put the front trailer axle in the "drive" plate and the second axle on the "trailer" plate. If you tell them you're going for a reweigh they will usually let you wait to pay all at once. When I weigh out my 9 axle I do it this way. It's probably more work but it's less frustrating than trying to explain what you want over the intercom.
     
    Iron-Man and Chewy352 Thank this.

    Success!!! Only took 3 times, being told I'm welcome to weigh elsewhere and the shift manager calling cat scale to walk her through it. I'm Gunna start weighing like this as often as possible just to be a pain it the you know what. Also putting in a complaint to loves and cat scale. They provide the service they should know how to do it. 20160322_191943.jpg

    Speaking of Cat scales, has anyone tried the app? I downloaded it because I thought it would be handy to have an instant reading while on the scale plus a digital record if I wanted to go back and look. Every time I try to use it they can't figure it out and I end up mad and say screw it.

    Thought about it but haven't tried. Do you still pay inside on through the app?

    No you link a card or Paypal to your account. That was another reason I would like to use it. I pay for my scale tickets out of my pocket and turn in my he receipt, with that I could turn in one bill with a months worth of scale tickets.

    That's what I figured. I use my fuel card so I don't think it would work.
