Do “Right Weigh” Scales Really Work?

Did you install yourself or have someone else do it? How much did it cost?

 

That's why you have to know your operation. Most trucks on the road don't have drop axles, but you're correct about making sure the gauge reads out for the pressures you're going to run. If you only need to know where 34K is, a gauge that reads to 80-100 will suffice. If you need to know where 40-45K is, you'll need one that reads a little higher.

 

They're easy to install...simply T into the air line running into any air bag and run the new line to wherever you want to mount the gauge.

 

I swapped out psi gauges for right weight lbs gauges. It's been about 2 months and I'm 50/50 on keeping them. It's basically the same gauge only one shows psi other shows lbs. I almost wish I'd bought the electric one.

 

I'm looking for companies that use the right weigh system. I know prime Inc does. Is there any other companies that use right weigh? It would be highly appreciated.

 

It depends on how acuate you need to be. For me I need it perfect every time as I load in mines and want the max weight/tonnage before I get my BOL. For others it's important in a different way. They are in most cases being paid by the mile or per load not tonnage and will be crossing state scales which I do not as a rule. If I cross state lines I don't cross scales period. I load multiple times a day and a CAT or public scale is not logical or convenient.
