Features & Capabilities

Truckers, this can help you make simple calculations for sliding your tandems.

Truck Scale Calculator is a utility app designed to assist truck drivers in analyzing the weights of their axles. It is designed for rigs which are either: 1) 3 axle sets, including steers, drives, and tandems; or, 2) 4 axle sets, including steers, drives, and two different spread axles. It is also designed to input the scale readings from either a short platform or long platform scale. For long scales, it can compute for either "scaling on" or "scaling off" - i.e., gross weight first or last.

Once the readings are entered, the app calculates the weights on each axle set and displays them in a summary screen. Weights that exceed the predefined limits (which can be adjusted in settings) are displayed in red. Then, the user can adjust the fifth wheel toward the front or back, and the steer axle and drive axles weights will be adjusted according to a predefined amount which can be adjusted by the user. For tandem rigs, the user can adjust the tandem slide toward the front or back as well.

User Reviews

Users praise Truck Scale Calculator for being easy to use, fast, and generally accurate, often validating results against CAT Scale and noting it saves time by avoiding manual calculations. However, multiple reviews flag concerns about value for money, occasional accuracy issues (including steer-tire calculations), and confusing UI related to pin/holes and forward/back labeling. Feature gaps like triples/quads support and trailer length, plus a few requests for improved labeling, are common. Overall, strong appeal for ease of use with caution about reliability and available features.

Pros

Easy to use and very fast, with a simple workflow.
Saves time by calculating weights quickly and reducing manual calculations.
Accurate and reliable for many users, with results matching CAT Scale.
Provides a second opinion and reduces guesswork when sliding tandems.

Cons

Expensive; mixed value with some reviewers calling it a waste of money.
Accuracy concerns: weight discrepancies and steer tires not calculated.
UI/pin and holes labeling can be confusing (plus/minus terminology) leading to interpretation issues.
Missing features: triples/quads support and trailer length.

Recent reviews

Great help when you need a second opinion fast. I used app for couple of years and would not trade it. It is simple and very fast to use. No hassle involved.

Waste of $2.99….., was willing to spend it on a whim to get desired results, but got suckered

Been fairly accurate so far, again the only issue is figuring your zero pin point (if I’m in the 20th hole it reads like I’m in the 15th) balances out every time though. Easier working front to back
