CAT Scale celebrates 30th anniversary with free CXT sweepstakes

WALCOTT, Iowa — CAT Scale turns 30 this year. Founded by Iowa 80 Truckstop entrepreneur Bill Moon, CAT Scale Co. introducing the first automated, full-length platform scale in the U.S. and Canada.

Drivers had access to scales that could weigh their entire truck and trailer unit all at once. They 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, recalls Delia Moon Meier, senior vice president.

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 — meaning if a driver receives an overweight fine after weighing legal on a CAT brand scale, CAT Scale 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.

In celebration of its 30th anniversary, CAT Scale is conducting a Weigh To Win Sweepstakes. In addition to thousands of instant win prizes, the company will award one lucky driver an International CXT Pickup on July 13 at the Walcott Truckers Jamboree at Iowa 80 Truckstop, Walcott, Iowa.
