Company charging driver

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.

 

My company uses the QuikQ fuel card and we charge the Cat scale to that. We have to be On-Duty every time we scale a load.

You should be able to get a cash advance when you fuel why not just get $200 a week if that will cover the scale tickets.

 

My question is why not just put air scales on ur equipment... It takes maybe an hour to install and pretty accurate. I know where im at within 1k pounds just looking at a load and a drive scale.

 

Our company uses the CAT scale app. I wouldn’t pay out of pocket to scale a company’s load. I won’t pay to park overnight at a truck stop when driving a company truck.

 

Man...... I couldn't tell you the last time I used a CAT scale. Bro, if yoi don't have money get a cash advance. The aforementioned EFS check is a way to do it. That's your option if they don't use the app or use the corporate account. Simple. You doing all this empty calorie complaining for no reason. Don't act like a truck driver.

 

It takes from an hour to three hours to install, I have a bunch of trucks with them but the problem is many times I have to prove if a load is not loaded right or overweight to charge the customer with more time wasted, if that makes sense. With the app, I can get a copy within minutes, then send it with a bill.

 

Yeah, at Swift, to even use the Comdata card for anything but fuel is pulling teeth...have to call dispatch, wait on hold, get $14.75 approved, wait for funds to clear, then use Comdata card to pay. It's easier to just pay the $14.75 out-of-pocket using the Weigh My Truck app and get reimbursed.

 

works unless you haul for Tyson out of Dakota city NE. You gotta go pay for scale. $14.75 go to gate over check in. Get paperwork. Go to gate 4 check in again. Get loaded. Go to reweigh $5, then back to gate 1 to get paperwork they use the scale ticket for their net.
Then you fight for reimbursement (It’s included in freight rate!!) I loaded there three times once reimbursement paid.
