Air-Weigh’s Self-Weighing Trailer Scale option is designed so that flatbed fleets can load to the maximum legal axle weight limit, right at the loading site, without the cost, delays and hassles normally associated with off-site commercial check-weighing, said Air Weigh, which is based in Eugene, OR.
