CAT Scale Celebrates 30th Anniversary
CAT Scale turns 30 this year, marking three decades of providing commercial drivers with the most accurate weights possible. Founded by Iowa 80 Truckstop entrepreneur Bill Moon, CAT Scale Co. revolutionized the trucking industr

by introducing the first automated, full-length platform scale.
For the first time, drivers had access to scales that could weigh their entire truck and trailer unit all at once. Drivers could get a weight on their vehicle that was guaranteed accurate with CAT Scale’s unconditional guarantee. Plus, CAT Scale was there to stand behind them if there were any problems.
Since then, CAT Scale has become the largest truck scale network in the world, with more than 1,000 locations in 45 states and five Canadian provinces, all offering a “no excuse” guarantee.
CAT brand scales are covered by an unconditional guarantee. If a driver receives an overweight fine after weighing legal on a CAT brand scale, CAT Scale Co. will either pay the fine or appear in court with the driver as an expert witness in order to get the fine dismissed. In either scenario, the driver does not have to pay the fine, as long as they weighed on a CAT brand scale prior to receiving the citation.
“Everything we do at CAT Scale is done with the professional driver in mind,” says Delia Moon Meier, senior vice president. “We always want our scales to be accurate and open when drivers need us. That is why we invest so much in technology and preventative maintenance.”
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, CAT Scale Co. is conducting a Weigh To Win Sweepstakes. In addition to thousands of instant win prizes, CAT Scale will award one lucky driver an International CXT Pickup on July 13 at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree at Iowa 80 Truckstop, Walcott, Iowa.
