Load Control

Digital Load Control for Truck Drivers made by Smart Driver

About Mouse Scale+

Information is the gold of the third millennium We have found a Klondike in which truck drivers can get decent money for professional load control. We want to teach you how to perform a full weight diagnostic by using existing truck gauges, including PSI suspension, tire gauges, and fuel levels. Mouse Scale is the first attempt by American truck drivers to digitize the load control industry for trucks and dry vans. We use all key variable parameters of the truck and trailer for complete diagnostics and obtainment of 27 useful results on load, some of them include: 1. level of diesel fuel in tanks 2. DEF level 3. driver and passenger weight 4. trailer tandem position 5. fifth wheel position 6. drive axle load (suspension pressure or axle weight) 7. trailer tandem load (suspension pressure or axle weight) Well-known expensive weighing systems use only the variable parameters described in points 5, 6, and 7. That is why they give five times fewer results, and at the same time, we are able to compete directly with them in terms of accuracy. Here is what this means for the environment and safety: Drivers gain full control over their loads and receive a couple of thousand dollars for work that has been done for free for decades. This significantly reduces the risk of fatal jackknife accidents due to the professional distribution of load between axles. Fuel consumption is reduced in many ways. In particular, it paves the way for the development of associated transportation and a reduction in deadhead miles. Resource savings and benefits for carriers can reach $15,000–20,000 per truck per year, allowing for the widespread implementation of APUs, aerodynamic elements, and TPMS for maximum fuel efficiency. Since on-board computers already have access to fuel, DEF, and suspension load sensors, all they need is high-quality software and a trailer suspension pressure sensor to create a convenient, efficient, and world-class load control system for drivers and carriers. That's why our patented solutions are ideal for integration into on-board computers and autonomous trucks. Mouse Scale is a long-term technology. There are 25–30 million drivers in the world who need to know more about the weight of their truck, trailer, and cargo. This means that in 5–10 years, our startup could potentially reach the scale of Uber — but specifically for freight transportation.

Our Offer+

For 99 cents a month, you will receive a Mouse Scale Lite subscription, where you can see the weight indicators of the axles and load balance, receive a newsletter with 10 lessons on Mouse Scale to improve your knowledge, and get your first free trial month on Mouse Scale Pro. For $10 per month, you will get access to the full version of Mouse Scale Pro. When we reach 100,000 users and a sufficient number of half-empty trucks, we will begin to develop the associated transportation industry, but we need your support. Help us get closer to our goal by purchasing a Kings of American Roads license for software development and expansion of technology. Everything will work out for us because we use complete diagnostics based on load and all variable parameters of the truck and trailer, which gives us more useful results and higher values. We want you to return home alive and unharmed, and to always be able to calculate everything you might need to know about the weight of the trailer and cargo. The rule in this industry is old and unchanging: whoever determines the weight takes the money from the carriers. We will stand by your side so that you earn a decent reward from carriers for professional load control and resource savings.
