- Max weight limit with a permit - this is the max weight legal limit on any axle configuration requiring a permit, which is 44,000 lbs on a tandem. Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight - this is the total weight of the tractor plus the weight of the loaded semi-trailer, which is 80,000 lbs. However, the axle weight limits may range from state to state.
- NOVAB – The Nooteboom Vehicle Axle Load Calculation programme was developed by Nooteboom more than 20 years ago especially for their customers in the international abnormal transport sector. The programme accurately calculates the optimal position for the loads on the vehicle combinations that are to be loaded. Users of the programme can choose from a wide range of predefined vehicles.

LoadSMART makes it easy for truck drivers and transport operators to manage truck (and trailer) axle group weights, payload and total combination weight. With today's transport environment it is critical for truck drivers to know they are within the weight limits with CONFIDENCE.
LoadSMART enables truck and fleet owners

LoadSMART aims to meet the needs for single driver operators as well as the large fleet operators. It has been on the market since 2007 and used by many operators throughout Australia for many applications including:
- Rigid Trucks
- Truck and semi-trailer
- Truck and b-double combination
- Truck and road-train combination
- Dump trucks (mining)
- Linehaul
- Grain
- and much more....
The LoadSMART setup is easy and simple and provides many advantages over conventional vehicle weighing systems. LoadSMART works by sensing axle group weight through state-of-the-art sensors and robust wireless transmission of weight data back to the truck cabin. With LoadSMART truck drivers can optimise each load so the fleet is running at full load capacity. Drivers can check all axle group weights and total weight either in the cabin or while loading.

The LoadSMART system comprises of two main areas: hardware and software. The hardware includes the sensor units, modem unit and display unit have been built to provide long-term durability and reliability. The software has been designed to be upgradable so as new software features become available (e.g. view LoadSMART Weigh Docket) they can easily be installed without the need to invest into new hardware costs. The LoadSMART software is being continually developed to provide better value and information to customers.
Truck drivers are accountable for their vehicle weights and therefore require an accurate on-board weighing system to validate the weights. Every LoadSMART display unit shows all axle group weights and total weight on the one screen making it easier for the driver to manage the weights. LoadSMART offers a range of models to meet various customer requirements.
