Hey Nick I don't quite understand your question, how do we keep track of each truck? We count them, we scale them, the type of material they are loaded with and the amount. Depending on the size of the truck it will dictate how much material is loaded into it. For most semi tractor-trailers it would be about 10-15 tons, about 20-30 thousand pounds. For a tandem dump truck half the amount, 5-6 tons 10-15 thousand pounds. Now each truck that comes through, their license plate numbers and the weight of their trucks are log in and when they go out the truck is weighed again and the two amounts are sub-tracked to get the amount of material that is in the truck, the amount is log and the driver or company is charged accordingly. We also do this for trucks that are dumping demo or dirt materials that has been removed from a work site, the only thing is some places don't have scales for when the trucks come to dispose back fill, but the trucks are still counted and charged by the loads for each load that is dumped. These are the easiest ways that we have found to keep track of the trucks and the materials they haul.... I hope this is what you were looking for.... Take care and Keep the Faith....PEACE....cya....
