Transportation & Logistics
Certified truck scales and freight weighing systems built for high-volume operations.
Scale Solutions for Transportation & Logistics
Transportation and logistics companies depend on accurate, legal-for-trade weighing to ensure DOT compliance, optimize load efficiency, and protect profit margins. North Texas Scales provides certified truck scale systems built for the throughput demands of freight terminals, distribution centers, and fleet operations.
From 70-foot full-length truck scales to portable wheel weighers, we match your operation with the right weighing infrastructure. Every system is NTEP certified, professionally installed, and supported by our 24/7 emergency service program — because a truck scale going down means revenue stops moving.

How a DFW freight terminal eliminated overweight fines
A high-volume freight terminal in southern Dallas was averaging $15,000/month in DOT overweight fines. North Texas Scales installed a 70-foot NTS-TruckPro 7080 with an unattended weighing kiosk and LaserLight driver display. Drivers now verify gross weight and axle distribution before leaving the yard. Overweight incidents dropped to near zero within the first month, and the system paid for itself in under 90 days.
