TWA provides recording and reporting of truck and trailer weight data with robust data analysis. It helps in control over installation, calibration, monitoring of Truck Weight equipment, provides alerts about overweight events and assists in critical verification of proper calibration and operations. TWA has built-in intelligence to help optimize unitarization. It ensures back-office calibration and quality control.
Although the scales work fine without TWA, there are several good reasons to include TWA. 

Many companies invest in onboard scales but are unable to properly benefit from them over time because they don’t know which are working perfectly and which need maintenance or calibration. This could be due to a broken spring or malfunctioning leveling valve, a scale having been calibrated incorrectly, or time wasted trying to re-calibrate, monitor and trouble shoot the onboard scale system. With TruckWeight’s TWA service these problems are solved resulting in maximum payload and compliance optimization.
Yes, lease options are available for 24 to 60 months.
Yes, it takes seconds to switch between an unlimited number of trailers.  Each sensor has a unique ID that is matched to the trailer ID. Calibration data stays with the trailer, so when a new truck hooks to it, the truck will automatically show the accurate trailer weight too.
TruckWeight Wireless Truck Scales work by accurately reading pressure and strain and displacement changes in the rig's air or mechanical suspension systems. Tiny sensors are mounted to the suspension of your tractor or trailer. These sensors then send information

directly to the TruckWeight Wireless Handheld Receiver, which translates the readings into weight measurements accurate within 0.3 – 2% of your gross vehicle weight. With just the touch of a button, operators can monitor the weight of axle groups and gross vehicle weight, either from the cab or within 100 feet of the trailer.
A TruckWeight Wireless Truck Scale eliminates scale charges, overweight fines, and out-of-route miles. It can also help maximize axle loads so you will get the maximum weight load from your trucks each and every time. TruckWeight Wireless Truck Sales cost a fraction of conventional truck scales and come with the best warranty.
