    The -catscale means to not return results with catscale in it. Acts as a filter. Not 100% on the image search, but fairly ok. First several images should get you started.

    Tried the search and still pulling CAT. Will just keep looking. Is it common to get one that requires the weightmaster to write the weights in it? Or are they all done via the computer and printed?

    Then add a -cat to your search query.

    A Bing or Google search on "scale ticket", then select "images" yields all sorts of different scale ticket images.

    And FYI, Cat Scale is the gold standard in the North American trucking industry. They are the most numerous. Also, they have an app that collects payment, processes the scale ticket [while on the scale] and displays the weight and emails a PDF as well
     
    icsheeple and dngrous_dime Thank this.

    I have tried the -cat and -catscales and it still pulls them up. I am just trying to see various kinds.

    The search string Zvar suggested seems to work pretty good.
    It does have quite a few Cat Scale tickets, but it has a wide selection of others, a lot of which would be hand filled.

    https://www.google.com/search?q=sca...c..34.mobile-heirloom-serp..5.0.0.-9JxDsITlNA

    Basically, I would guess that the majority of OTR scale tickets are CAT, and they are the most likely to be posted too. Lol

    There are probably a lot more quarry and dump scale tickets, but those are mostly going to be in the form of an invoice, rather than just a scale ticket.

    Every time I have been to the dump in years, I have been charged by the yard not the ton, and the years I ran dump truck, I only took pictures of a few invoices, and they might be hard to dig up...

    I will say that if you are trying to automate something via OCR, the sheer variety of ways scale tickets and invoices are formatted and worded will make your task very difficult!

    If you had a more specific request or goal you could articulate, there is a greater chance you will get more help, but it seems pretty vague and nonspecific at this point.

    You don't get a receipt at the chicken coop (scale house) without a price (fine) on the bottom of it.

    If they ever ask you if you want a receipt at the scale house, the answer is no.

    Gravity on Mars is .38 percent of The Plant Earth.

    The force of gravity on earth?

    There is a direct relationship between gravitational acceleration and the downwards force (weight) experienced by objects on Earth, given by the equation F = ma (force = mass × acceleration). However, other factors such as the rotation of the Earth also contribute to the net acceleration.

    known as standard gravity is, by definition, 9.80665 m/s2 (about 32.1740 ft/s2). This quantity is denoted variously as gn, ge (though this sometimes means the normal equatorial value on Earth, 9.78033 m/s2), g0, gee, or simply g (which is also used for the variable local value).

    From the law of universal gravitation, the force on a body acted upon by Earth's gravity is given by

    [​IMG]

    where r is the distance between the centre of the Earth and the body (see below), and here we take m1 to be the mass of the Earth and m2 to be the mass of the body.


    To put it simply, the weight of an truck is not the force exerted on the ground, but rather the force of the Earth acting on the truck. Science and mathematics do the conversion using standard method. The result is weight using lbs is simply as a unit of measure to compare the mass of an object relative to the mass of the Earth.
