Axle Weighing: Example Long Deck - Drive Off

Example: Long Deck - Drive Off

This example will follow the steps to weigh a truck with (3) three axles. Each axle will be weighed separately as the truck drives off of the scale. Axle weights are calculated by subtracting the total weight from the current weight on the scale.

All axles of the truck are driven on to the scale.

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. Interact uses the total weight of the truck to temporarily store the first axle. The driver pulls the first axle of the truck off of the scale. Two axles remain on the scale.

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. The weight of the first axle can now be calculated by subtracting the second weighment from the first weighment. The first axle weighs 9,000 pounds. Interact uses the remaining weight of the truck to temporarily store the second axle. The driver pulls the first and second axles of the truck off of the scale. One axle remains on the scale.

The operator clicks the  Store Axle button. The weight of the second axle can now be calculated by subtracting the third weighment from the second weighment. The second axle weighs 21,000 pounds. The remaining weight on the scale represents the weight of the third axle. The operator clicks the Store Ticket button to complete the weigh in portion of the transaction. The same steps are followed when the truck returns to complete the ticket.

To remove an axle weighment click the  Remove Axle button.
