Description

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 to get a suggestions and it tells you where to slide. It's that easy.
Hole #1 is the hole closest to the front of the trailer. Then count up as you move backwards towards the tandem axle's first pin.
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!

Holes accurate; weight off

CBruh on

United States

Downloaded the app to help with sliding my tandems. The weight calculation is off but the amount of holes I needed to slide was spot on.

Fix resolution

The app is stretched out on my iPhone 14 pro max. It’s hard to hit the settings and check marks in the app.

This app was great when I downloaded it initially. It worked great for about 3 months. It never was 100% accurate, but it was always no more than a hole or 2 off. But lately this app has not be correct at all…! Not even close honestly. Maybe the app needs an update, I don’t know. But right now it is not working correctly at all. Thank God it’s free! I really wish someone would make an app for us…

Awesome App!

JollyPanda456 on

The easiest and most efficient way to balance the load. If you are not good at Math like myself, this takes all the guess work out of it. Just remember to scale with full fuel tanks or your weights will be off the first time you fuel.

Good with on caveat

United States

Works great but u cant use steer+ drive and drive + trailer at the same time it on or the other some shippers only have over all wieght scales so why not use steer+ drive and drive + trailer as u drive across the scale

Price Reduction

This is a great and practical app that every truck driver should have installed on their phone, but I have a suggestion to make. The 2nd and 3rd price tier should get a reduction or discount ASAP, and that’s why I’m not giving this app 5 stars.

Semi truck scaling

This app is great for moving my trailer weight accordingly

Optimized perfection!

Mjomba Fisi on

United States

I have used this app for months!! Great results and not even one time did the app error or mislead weight distribution suggestion! Would highly recommend and still do to truckers I see struggling to figure how to balance weight. Saves on valuable drive time such that I have so much confidence on the app I need not reweigh after recommended adjustments as it has proven always to get it write…I mean not even once has the suggested tandem sliding be wrong. By the way it does not recommend 5th adjustment, a pet peeve that I refrain and avoid. Mufasa

Time saver

vidmanmd on

Real time saver and accurate enough. Ive rescaled after using the calculation. Only off by couple hundred pounds

Was Great

Kitty_2469 on

United States

This was an awesome and spot on Slide Calculator, but lately it hasn’t been working correctly. I put in the weights and it hasn’t been calculating correctly. I’m so disappointed. 😔 I used to tell every truck driver that I knew about this great app, however since it started failing I refuse to tell anyone about it. Please MAKE SLIDE CALC GREAT AGAIN!!
