Five most common ways of cheating at the truck scale
- Improper Positioning: Most common cheat where the truck is either not fully on the scale or the next truck in line drives onto the scale, resulting in a lower/ higher weight reading.
- Load-Cell Tampering: A device is added to the analog load cell system which allows the driver to use a remote and increase or decrease the weight to their benefit.
- Lighten the Load: Driver expels additional weight after weighing in and before loading/unloading. This result in the driver receiving more product than was paid for or getting paid for more product than was delivered.
- Disappearing Goods: Driver drops some of the product at a secret location between being loaded and unloaded. This is most common when trucks are running the same route multiple times a day.
- Altering Data: A scale-house attendant conspires with a driver to alter weight tickets and gets a cut of the profit. Alternatively, the data-management software is insecure and open to hacking.
