“Most customers are payload-driven. The TruckScience program allows us to tailor our trailer designs to our customers’ needs. Previously, we were limited to standard trailers or standard rigids, but we have a lot more options to offer our customers now.”

“Almost every truck that leaves our yard is customized. I have been building a database for our entire product line, evaluating which axle weight ratings give optimal bridge load and axle capacity loads. We wouldn’t have considered doing this before we adopted the TruckScience tool.”

“I can send realistic drawings to my clients on a report customised with our logo. They get all the information they need from this, and can be confident they’re getting the best outcome for the vehicle they’ve chosen.

“There is really no comparison between the TruckScience Axle Weight Calculator and other alternatives. We can upload an incredible amount of information, for more accurate final weight and center of gravity calculations.”

“Any truck that is built has the potential to be overweight, depending on how the customer uses it. It is very important to us that we can educate our customers on the potential for being overweight, recommend an optimal configuration, and get sign-off on their chosen design. Knowing that we are using an industry-standard tool, and that our load balancing calculations are correct and complete brings great peace of mind.”
