Beat the Inspection Line: Route to the Right Scale Every Time
Every trucker knows the stress of approaching a weigh station without knowing what’s waiting ahead. One wrong turn, a full load, or a closed scale can mean fines, delays, or wasted miles. What if your navigation could solve that problem before it happens?
Trucker Guide | Navigation is designed specifically for commercial vehicles. It gives you visibility into certified truck scales before you reach inspection zones. This feature helps you avoid penalties, reduce downtime, and stay in control of your route.
See Truck Scale Locations While You Plan
Truck scales are marked as Points of Interest directly on the map. You don’t need to switch apps or search third-party websites. Whether you’re planning a long haul or adjusting mid-route, you can view certified scale locations in real-time.
This visibility gives you control on the road. Find truck scales along your route, match them to your schedule, and confirm your weight before you even reach a truck weigh station.

Why Truck Scales Matter
Finding scales is useful, but understanding their value is what really makes a difference. Truck scales help you verify your load, plan smarter stops, and avoid delays. They also reduce wear on your truck and prevent overweight penalties.

- Compliance and Safety: Knowing your load weight before approaching a DOT inspection reduces the risk of fines.
- Efficiency: You can plan stops intelligently, avoid backtracking, and save fuel.
- Peace of Mind: See the nearest scales and their status to stay confident that you are driving within limits.
- Community Reliability: Updates from other drivers provide real-world information on availability and line lengths.
