Truckers - always know where to slide, even when puddle jumping. It's easy!

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Enter your axle weights (platform scale or individual axles) and the app calculates how much each axle is over or under, including gross. Then click "Get Suggestion" and it tells you where to slide. It's that easy.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Trucker's Slide Calc uses a computer algorithm to simulate your axle weights at each hole. It then picks the best hole for the situation.

Having Drives and Trailers balanced saves you fuel and money, so the app tries to do this first: putting slightly more weight on your drives for traction and fuel burn.

If equally balancing the axles makes an axle go over limit, the app will elect to keep the axles legal but out of perfect balance..

Last, if every axle can't be legal at the same time, the app automatically suggests a hole where your trailers will be just under their limit, and puts the rest of the weight on your drives. That way you can remove the extra fuel and get legal before a DOT Scale.

SO HOW ACCURATE IS IT?

Here is a real-life example from one of our users: The driver got a load of onions on a 53' Refer Semi. He went to a CAT Scale, got the scale ticket, and entered the weights into the app...

1st CAT Scale: @ hole 4

Steers : 11,780

Drives: 32,480

Trailers: 35,160

Our axle slide calculator told him to slide forward 3 holes and go directly to hole 7. It estimated that his axles would then weigh...

Calculated Axle Weights: @ hole 7

Drives: 33,675

Trailers: 33,965

He slid his tandems to hole 7 and re-weighed his truck. The results made him excited enough to tell us his story...

2nd CAT Scale: @ hole 7

Steers: 11,800

Drives: 33,740

Trailers: 33,880

Only 65 lbs off on his Drives and 85 lbs off on his trailers. That's over 99.5% accuracy. Pretty awesome if you ask us! We truly believe that we have the best axle-weight calculator out there. And it's free!

Disclaimer: Bridge and Kingpin-to-Rear-Axle Laws are not considered in this application. Remember, even if you use this app, it is your responsibility to ensure that your load complies with all federal and local laws.

UPDATE HISTORY

V1.0 (BETA)

- App can automatically handle platform scales and/or individual axles

- App shows the driver how much each axle is over/under, including gross

- Driver can now select the trailer hole spacing -- CRITICAL FOR ACCURACY

- Get Suggestions now tells the driver how many holes to slide forwards or backwards

v2.0

- Added support for metric units (kilograms and centimeters)

- Added option to enter the current hole number: suggestion now shows exactly what hole to slide to

- Unlocked the Settings page, allowing full customization of default limits and inputs

- Added a default hole-spacing option, if user doesn't enter a hole spacing, the default is used

- Hitting Reset now updates every option to the defaults in addition to clearing inputs

- Removed the message asking to confirm inputs (it was not needed / redundant)

v2.1.1

- Calculation now targets slightly more weight on drive axles than trailers (additional traction, also fuel burn)

- Now shows a suggestion even if truck is over gross in case driver wants to burn fuel or lighten his tractor

- If puddle jumping is needed, the app now works to get trailer-axles legal and leaves the rest of the weight on the tractor

- Fixed bug where min/max hole limits were not being considered

- Fixed bug where, when pulling truck forward, one hole was not being counted

v2.1.2

- Fixed a bug that asked for weight units every time the screen changed orientation

- Fixed a bug where RESET was not resetting everything that it was supposed to

- App now requires the User to accept a Terms-of-Use agreement before operating

- Added an Information Page

v2.1.3

- Fixed a bug that was causing the app to close when clearing numbers in the settings page
