    Tell em to buy a air scale for their equipment. Sounds like a lousy bunch of management. I have gone months and months without scaling hauling 80k just watching my drive scale and making sure its loaded properly. There is no reason to scale that much once u learn ur equipment

    Cheap company.

    We use the app, which is tied to a credit card that gets paid off each month. We pull an invoice of the scale tickets through the fleet manager account, along with the cost that gets reconciled against the credit card bill, so much easier than adding in money to the driver's settlement/paycheck, SO MUCH EASIER!

    I disagree, I have three customers who always overload the trailers, and we have had drivers return to the shipper to get product offloaded to become legal, a lot which wasted a lot of time. So now, everything out of those customers, no matter if it is even a pallet or two, gets scaled with no exceptions, and they are charged that scale cost.
