LOUISVILLE. Air-Weigh introduced an addition to its QuickLoad onboard scale product line. The new standalone trailer scale, which the company said incorporates Air-Weigh’s proven electronics, software and sensor technology and is packaged in an environmentally sealed enclosure, debuted here last week at the Mid-America Trucking Show.
