![]() Notice the Steer axel does not need to be calculated, but does need to entered to calculate the Drive and Trailer axles. Here's the Screen Shots for RT Axle Weight, showing the Results from entering, 12,000 lbs for the Steer Axel 46,000 lbs for the Tractor (Steer & Drive Axels together) and 80,000 lbs for the entire Truck & Trailer. ![]() It is NOT needed as the CAT scales will give you each axel directly, so there is nothing to calculate. Note: This app is for use on Platform Scales. To calculate allowable weights, see RoadTrucker's Free App, " RT Bridge Calculator for Truckers". It does not show legal weights because legal weights depend on the distance between axles, or the manufacturer specification, which ever is lower plus there are some grandfathered weights and the states proclivity to round up or round down. The difference will be, that the allowable weight on 3 drives or 3 Trailer axels will obviously be more than on 2 drives or 2 trailer axels. However, if a CAT scale is not within a reasonable distance, the Truck Axle Weights calculator will help verify your weight on your Drive and Trailer axles, reducing math errors. Obviously you should use a CAT Scale when available, as CAT Scales are guaranteed to be accurate. You can make a quick comparison to the allowable limits of your Truck. This is a simple Truck App to calculate the Weight on the Drive and Trailer Axles, when weighing on a Platform scale.
