    Does anyone have any recommendations on software to calculate the weight of my axle loads? New to interstate trucking and don't want to get any tickets. Thanks!

    Don't believe there's an actually software or app, but there's C.A.T scales you can weigh at and see your axle weight

    ^^^This, or if you do a search in Google. I had a program (I found online), but it is on a different computer from this one. Programs and apps work well if you have accurate dimensions of your truck and trailer and also of your load. For the load you either need to know the centre of gravity for a single piece, or what each piece/pallet weighs, and then the location on the trailer.
