Curt BetterWeigh™ Mobile Towing Scale Smartphone Ready

This video is about the BetterWeigh™ mobile towing scale – a Bluetooth-enabled, smartphone-compatible device that plugs into any OBD-II port and weighs the vehicle, trailer, cargo, tongue weight, pin weight, weight distribution and trailer brake gain.

Equipped with TowSense™ technology, BetterWeigh™ provides real-time, live measurements to take the guesswork out of towing and hauling. With it, you can know exactly how much weight you’re towing, and whether it’s safe to tow with your vehicle.

It has virtually no installation requirements. BetterWeigh™ simply plugs into the OBD-II vehicle diagnostic port below the steering wheel, wirelessly links with your smartphone and comes with a free, downloadable app.

Unlike physical towing scales and tongue weight scales, BetterWeigh™ gives you a digital readout, sent right to your smartphone -- no more walking to the back of the vehicle to check the weight.

BetterWeigh™ also makes brake controller setup fast, easy and accurate by calculating the exact trailer brake gain needed for your particular load size.

The CURT BetterWeigh™ mobile towing scale is compatible with Apple iOS and Android OS. The downloadable app is intuitive, easy to use and completely free.

Unlock the Full Potential of Telematics: Modern Uses Beyond Tracking

In the ever-evolving landscape of commercial fleet management, telematics technology has emerged as a game-changer. While many are familiar with its role in vehicle tracking, telematics applications have expanded far beyond that. Discover how fleet managers can harness these advanced capabilities to optimize efficiency, cut costs, and streamline processes like never before. 

1. Dynamic Route Optimization for Efficient Deliveries Gone are the days of static route planning. Telematics has ushered in a new era of dynamic route optimization, where real-time data is used to adjust routes on the fly. Fleet managers can ensure timely deliveries by considering traffic conditions, weather, and delivery schedules while reducing fuel consumption and vehicle wear and tear. Embracing this technology can lead to substantial savings and improved customer satisfaction. 

2. Proactive Maintenance & Predictive Analytics Telematics goes beyond tracking; it's about preemptive maintenance. With sensors gathering data from various vehicle components, fleet managers can identify potential issues before they escalate into costly breakdowns. By utilizing predictive analytics, maintenance schedules can be optimized, reducing downtime, and increasing vehicle lifespan. This proactive approach not only saves money but also enhances fleet reliability. 

3. Driver Performance Monitoring and Training Telematics provides a window into a driver’s behavior like never before. From harsh braking to aggressive acceleration, these insights allow fleet managers to provide targeted training to improve driver performance. By promoting safer driving habits, fleet managers can significantly reduce accidents, insurance premiums, and vehicle maintenance costs. This technology empowers fleet managers to enhance overall driver safety and efficiency. 

4. Emission Tracking & Environmental Sustainability In an era of increased environmental awareness, telematics is stepping up to monitor emissions. Commercial fleets can use this technology to track vehicle emissions, identify inefficiencies, and implement strategies to reduce their carbon footprint. Fleet managers can align their operations with sustainability goals by optimizing routes, promoting fuel-efficient driving, exploring alternative fuels, contributing positively to the environment, and corporate social responsibility. 

5. Cargo Monitoring & Security Enhancement Beyond vehicles, telematics extends its reach to cargo monitoring. Real-time tracking and temperature sensing ensure the integrity of sensitive goods during transit. Fleet managers can receive instant alerts for deviations from optimal conditions, safeguarding the quality and safety of transported cargo. This feature bolsters customer trust and protects against potential losses due to spoilage or theft. 

6. Data-Driven Decision Making and Business Intelligence Telematics generates a wealth of data that can be transformed into actionable insights. Fleet managers can analyze trends, identify operational inefficiencies, and make informed decisions to optimize their operations. This data-driven approach enables better resource allocation, more intelligent investment decisions, and improved fleet performance. 

7. Integration with IoT and Future Possibilities The world of telematics is constantly evolving, with integration into the Internet of Things (IoT) opening doors to even more advanced capabilities. From vehicle-to-vehicle communication to automated maintenance requests, the future holds exciting possibilities. Fleet managers who stay abreast of these developments can position their operations at the forefront of innovation, gaining a competitive edge in the industry. Driving Forward with Telematics As commercial fleets navigate the challenges of the modern business landscape, telematics emerges as an indispensable ally. Beyond its foundational role in vehicle tracking, telematics offers many advanced applications that redefine fleet management. From dynamic route optimization to predictive maintenance and environmental sustainability, the potential benefits are undeniable. By embracing these capabilities, fleet managers can unlock new levels of efficiency, cost savings, and operational excellence, propelling their fleets toward a successful and sustainable future.
