Anyone using this app and sensor system? Looks interesting and is priced right at $150. Screwed up the title it’s APP WEIGH!

App weigh? Anyone using it? Do you like it?

If we don't watch it we will have a app for eating food.. /snarky.
If we are going to have a proper onboard weight system installed into a big rig pernamently, it has to be able to send data from each wheel to the cab where you the driver can make a determination that shes at legal axle and legal gross for whatever load you are at cross indexed against your kingpin and bridge laws when necessary.
Apps. *Snorts.... I think they are a cheap way to do something that has very serious legal and financial implications when Mr DOT is standing on your fuel tank at 1000 over axle. -
I use it, usually within 200 lbs, easy to install, took longer to find my tubing cutter than the install took. Buy a cheap cutter so ends are square and won’t leak.
Turn off your other Bluetooth devices if it doesn’t want to read.
I still have my gauges just in case, I load a lot with a crane and don’t have much chance of shifting load after the crane leaves.
I like not having to cut into wiring harness to install.

They’re okay but can need periodic calibrating because of the added conversion and translation required. I personally prefer just your basic pressure gauge setup. Tractor and/or trailer. Less to go wrong. And it’s universal. No app required. If you drop your phone in the toilet, your gauge weight readout will still be accessible
But the negative is they can be trailer specific with regards to pressure to rough pounds conversion. So drivers unfamiliar with gauge (equipment) may not know what’s what unless they are some how documented with paper and penNightWind Thanks this. -

snowman_w900 and NightWind Thank this.

On line average price is $150.00 per sensor which isn't bad really
-
But the steer estimate is never really a concern for most once they understand their configuration and leave it alone.SuperRookie, NightWind and Oxbow Thank this. -
