Trucker's Slide-Calc Light 2.1.3 APK
DESCRIPTION & OPERATIONEnter your axle weights (platform scale or individual axles) andtheapp calculates how much each axle is over or under, includinggross.Then click "Get Suggestion" and it tells you where to slide.It'sthat easy.HOW DOES IT WORK?Trucker's Slide Calc uses a computer algorithm to simulate youraxleweights at each hole. It then picks the best hole forthesituation.Having Drives and Trailers balanced saves you fuel and money,sothe app tries to do this first: putting slightly more weightonyour drives for traction and fuel burn.If equally balancing the axles makes an axle go over limit,theapp will elect to keep the axles legal but out ofperfectbalance..Last, if every axle can't be legal at the same time, theappautomatically suggests a hole where your trailers will bejustunder their limit, and puts the rest of the weight on yourdrives.That way you can remove the extra fuel and get legal beforea DOTScale.SO HOW ACCURATE IS IT?Here is a real-life example from one of our users: The driver gotaload of onions on a 53' Refer Semi. He went to a CAT Scale, gotthescale ticket, and entered the weights into the app...1st CAT Scale: @ hole 4Steers : 11,780Drives: 32,480Trailers: 35,160Our axle slide calculator told him to slide forward 3 holesandgo directly to hole 7. It estimated that his axles wouldthenweigh...Calculated Axle Weights: @ hole 7Drives: 33,675Trailers: 33,965He slid his tandems to hole 7 and re-weighed his truck.Theresults made him excited enough to tell us his story...2nd CAT Scale: @ hole 7Steers: 11,800Drives: 33,740Trailers: 33,880Only 65 lbs off on his Drives and 85 lbs off on histrailers.That's over 99.5% accuracy. Pretty awesome if you ask us!We trulybelieve that we have the best axle-weight calculator outthere. Andit's free!Disclaimer: Bridge and Kingpin-to-Rear-Axle Laws arenotconsidered in this application.
