Why scale tickets matter
Scale tickets can help confirm weight when the shipment is heavy, near limits, or requires additional documentation.
Scale ticket
Scale tickets in Seattle/Tacoma container drayage.
Scale tickets may be requested when weight needs to be verified for customer, receiver, route or equipment reasons. Weight details should be shared early, especially on heavy or overweight containers.
What to know
How this can affect the move.
Accessorial categories are easier to plan when dispatch receives the right details before the truck is committed.
What to send
Send gross weight, container size, commodity if relevant, terminal/ramp, delivery address and any customer scale-ticket requirement.
Planning impact
Scale stops can affect timing, lane planning and accessorial details.
Heavy containers
If overweight or tri-axle equipment may be needed, weight details should be shared before dispatch.
