Fairbanks FB3000 Highway System Application - Manual (Page 17)

Section 3: Highway System Mode of Operation
3.1. INTRODUCTION
The Highway System Application is specifically designed and intended for
multi-platform truck scale weighing
.
─ The FB3000 Highway System typically weighs a semi-truck in one
weighment, depending on the number of scales and length of trailer.
─ This system is superior to an axle scale since the weight can be obtained
in one weighment, and it can still provide axle weight information.
In the Pay-to-Weigh Application , different fees are charged for different
weighment types.
─ The bigger the truck, the larger the fee.
─ Re-weighment fees are required to allow a truck to weigh. If the weights
are outside what is legal for over the road, the truck weights must be
adjusted, usually by shifting the load around.
─ A report ticket prints and is given to the truck driver, providing information
about where the load needs to be shifted.
─ The Legal column in this
illustration is a programmable
value
within the application.
─ When the truck re-weighs, this fee
is usually less that the original
weighment fee minutes before.
