Here at CAT Scale, we've been working for nearly five decades to provide professional drivers with guaranteed accurate weights.
Founded by Truckstop entrepreneur Bill Moon, CAT Scale Company revolutionized the trucking industry by introducing the first totally automated, full-length platform scale.
CAT Scale installed its first scale in South Holland, Illinois in 1977. For half a century, CAT Scale Company has been striving to provide professional drivers with the most accurate weights possible.
For the first time, drivers had access to scales that could weigh their entire truck and trailer unit all at once. Drivers could get a weight on their vehicle that was guaranteed accurate with CAT Scale's unconditional guarantee.
CAT Scale is now the largest truck scale network in the world, with over 2,300 locations in 47 states and seven Canadian provinces, and offers the Weigh My Truck app that allows drivers to weigh and pay from their smartphone or tablet.
Thank you to our dedicated employees, truckstop partners, and customers for helping us continue to serve the professional driver.
