AxleSet turns three CAT Scale ticket weights into a trailer-specific recommendation for sliding tandems and adjusting fifth-wheel notches.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

AxleSet uses three scale-ticket weights alongside trailer measurements such as hole spacing and kingpin-to-tandem distance. Its stated checks include the Federal Bridge Formula, state axle and bridge limits, kingpin rules, interstate-versus-state differences, and APU allowances. The page also describes scanning tickets, saving several rigs, calibrating from two weighings, exporting PDFs, and operating without a signal, although the iPhone app is described as forthcoming.
