section of the

file. Refer to the

NOTE:
Axle weighing is not an NTEP certifiable form of measurement. Therefore, individual
axle weights are not stored with the transaction. Only the total weight is stored with the
transaction.
When axle weighing is enabled, an
Axle
button for recording axle weights becomes available in
the
Transaction Details
form.
Short Bed Axle Weighing
Short bed axle weighing refers to a scale that is not long enough to weigh the entire truck at one time.
Each axle is weighed separately and added together to get the total weight of the truck.
Each time the
Axle
button is clicked, an axle weight is added to the
Weight In
or
Out
box. The
button can be clicked up to five times to add five axle weights together.

The

Shift
key on the keyboard while clicking the
Axle
button.
Press the

button when all axle weights have been added together.
