Scale Ticket Reconciliation
Compare Planned Trailer Weights Against Actual Scale Tickets
Loadly closes the loop between the plan and the scale house. Drivers upload a scale-ticket photo, Loadly records the actual steer, drive, tandem, and gross weights against the approved plan, and an overweight result triggers a required rework and re-scale loop.
The gap between planned and actual weight
Most load planning stops the moment the trailer leaves the dock. But the scale ticket is where compliance is actually decided — and where fines, re-scales, detention, and lost hours come from. If nobody compares the planned weights to the ticket, an overweight trailer becomes a surprise at the scale house instead of a caught problem at the dock.
Scale ticket reconciliation captures the real weights and compares them to the plan, so variance is measured, overweight loads are corrected, and the pattern is visible across trailers, tractors, lanes, and sites.
How reconciliation works in Loadly
From the driver companion app, the driver uploads a scale-ticket photo. Loadly records the actual steer, drive, tandem, and gross weights with a timestamp and compares them against the approved Loadly plan, flagging any overweight or high-risk axle group.
If the trailer is overweight, Loadly creates a rework loop: the issue must be corrected, the trailer re-scaled, and a new scale-ticket photo uploaded before the load can be marked ready for delivery. Every ticket is saved to the load's Proof Packet.
- Upload scale-ticket photos from the driver companion app
- Record steer, drive, tandem, gross, and timestamp
- Compare actual results against the approved Loadly plan
- Flag overweight or high-risk axle groups
- Require a rework and re-scale loop for failed loads
- Save every scale ticket to the Loadly Proof Packet
- Track scale variance by trailer, tractor, lane, customer, loader, and site
From one ticket to better profiles
A single reconciled ticket resolves one load. A history of them improves the whole operation. Loadly uses historical scale results to help refine future trailer and tractor profiles, so plans get more accurate over time and fewer loads reach the scale overweight in the first place.
The workflow is simple to follow end to end: plan approved, driver scales, ticket uploaded, Loadly compares actual versus planned, rework if needed, re-scale required, Proof Packet completed.
Frequently asked questions
Drivers upload a photo of the scale ticket through the Loadly companion app. Loadly records the actual axle and gross weights against the approved plan and saves the ticket to the load record.
Loadly can create a rework loop that requires the issue to be corrected, the trailer re-scaled, and a new scale-ticket photo uploaded before the load can be marked ready for delivery.
Yes. Loadly tracks scale variance by trailer, tractor, lane, customer, loader, and site, and can use historical results to help improve future trailer and tractor profiles.
Yes. Every scale ticket is saved to the Loadly Proof Packet alongside the plan, pallet data, axle analysis, photos, rework history, and delivery proof.
