Scale 9200(TM) Quick Quiz

  1. Do you determine where to dispose of waste by weight? 
  2. Do you pay overweight fines yourself?
  3. Do you charge by the ton for waste you pick up?
  4. Do customers say "It's not that heavy - you can take it."
  5. Do you lose money if your driver guesses wrong?

If you answered any of the questions "Yes", the Scale 9200™ can save you money and improve profits dramatically!

How?

Assume the following:

bullet6 loads per truck per day
bullet$40 per ton disposal cost at transfer station
bullet$6 per cubic yard disposal cost at landfill
bulletAverage 1 ton weight error
bulletAverage 1 weight error per day

Example: Driver guesses that a load is 4.5 tons.  Driver takes load to transfer station where disposal cost is $40 per ton.  The cost to unload SHOULD be $180.

However, when the truck is weighed, the real weight is 5.5 tons, and the cost is $220.  You could have taken it straight to the landfill for $180.  you LOST $40!

At that rate, the Scale 9200™ would pay itself back in just 15 weeks of weight estimate errors of 1 error per day!  This is less than 4 months, after that, the savings go right down to YOUR bottom line!
