How do you record truck weighing at the gate?
To record truck weighing at the gate, register the entry weight of each truck with plate, carrier, and order, record the exit weight after loading or unloading, calculate net weight with formulas, compare it with the expected quantity, flag differences above tolerance, and attach the weighing ticket.
In Jestor, weighings, trucks, and orders are connected, so quantity disputes are settled with data.
Why do weighing records cause disputes?
Weighing tickets are printed and filed. Net weights are calculated by hand.
Differences with expected quantities are noticed late, and customers or suppliers dispute volumes without evidence.

- Manual net weight calculations
- Differences noticed late
- Tickets lost
