Good luck.

 

Really, how do you weigh the products?

 

We need to know a lot more on how this works before anybody can comment on how they would like it. Most drivers know how to optimize a load in their head. So what's an app going to do for them that they can't do already?

 

No need for anything like that. The shippers already know how to load their stuff in trailer. Most things are so heavy you can't fill the trailer up anyway.

The driver's don't load the trailer. So it not like we need fill every inch of the trailer. Some stuff is heavy to fill trailer up with. The light stuff you can double stack pallets if needed and they actually want that much stuff.

 

That's not possible. Neither is a floating floor with load cells built in. The pallet has to be weighed before it hits the truck, not after. The load balancing can't take few tries, this is production and there is no time to keep trying to balance a load.

Edit - just to add that a lot of docks lock trailers into the dock and the trailer does not have a lot of movement with some dock locks, this would mean any use of air ride to determine weights will be drastically off.
