Tandem/Weight Balancing
Topic 7709 | Page 2
I suppose most company scales aren't as accurate as the guaranteed CATs.
Oh I see.....two different scales. Yeah the CAT scales are always the ones to trust. Most private scales you find won't be nearly as accurate.
CAT Scale:
A network of over 1,500 certified truck scales across the U.S. and Canada found primarily at truck stops. CAT scales are by far the most trustworthy scales out there.
In fact, CAT Scale offers an unconditional Guarantee:
“If you get an overweight fine from the state after our scale showed your legal, we will immediately check our scale. If our scale is wrong, we will reimburse you for the fine. If our scale is correct, a representative of CAT Scale Company will appear in court with the driver as a witness”

You have weights from two different shippers (same truck combination). The BLs are the weights of the contents - without the truck's weight. Really, I think the only thing you can do here is to see the "tare" weight - the weight of the truck w/o any freight. That works out to 35,553 on your first and 34,920 on the second, difference is 633. (I didn't allow for the 1/2 tank difference in the fuel.) I was a math teacher, I just do this stuff.
What do you want to show with this?
= | = | = | =
FYI: tare wt + net wt = gross wt.
Or
Truck + freight = gross/total
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
