A new $4.99 application available for iPhone, iPad and Android functions as a directory of weigh stations across North America, joining Overdrive‘s Trucker Tools app as well as Truckster with that functionality, among others.
By providing the info, Scalechek users are “helping keep their fellow drivers informed on weigh scale statuses,” makers say. “The more participants, the more efficient Scalechek is.”
Further, you can set the app up to get those upcoming-scale notifications at broader intervals, i.e. “as far as 50 miles away… Drivers also have the option of selecting both alerts together, or none at all.”
Other features:
- Information button: the possibility to visit the company’s website or email feedback.
- Add Location button: allows addition of a scale location which may not be in the database.
- Search Location button (enter City/State or Zip/Postal Code to find a location).
- List Summary button (choose a direction to view a list of corresponding scales within a radius of approximately 500 Miles.
Keeping the phone plugged into the outlet charger all the time when using Scalechek, makers say, will ensure constant visual display of the map.
