HaulBridge - Axle Load Calc

HaulBridge is an essential heavy-haulage planning tool designed for truck drivers, fleet operators, dispatchers, and transport coordinators. Quickly configure multi-axle truck configurations, simulate cargo placement, and audit weight compliance against the Federal Bridge Formula.

Whether managing standard semi-trucks or complex multi-axle heavy-haul trailers, HaulBridge helps you optimize load positioning and avoid overweight axle penalties before hitting the road.

KEY FEATURES:

1. RIG CONFIGURATOR
• Flexible Axle Setup: Configure truck and trailer layouts with 2 to 12 axles.
• Custom Spacing & Tare Weights: Set exact distances between axles and individual tare weight per axle group.
• Preset Configurations: Save, duplicate, and manage multiple truck and trailer setups for quick retrieval.
• Unit Support: Toggle easily between Imperial (lbs, feet) and Metric (kg, meters) units.

2. INTERACTIVE BRIDGE LOAD CANVAS
• Dynamic Cargo Placement: Drag the cargo payload along the wheelbase to see instant weight distribution changes.
• Visual Axle Load Pressure: Real-time load transfer feedback shows how payload weight distributes across all axles.
• Suspension Grouping: Uses lever-rule load distribution to simulate real-world weight sharing across suspension groups.

3. COMPLIANCE AUDIT
• Federal Bridge Formula Checks: Instant calculation of legal weight limits for any axle combination.
• Detailed Group Audits: Evaluates single axles, tandems, tridems, quads, and overall gross vehicle weight (GVW).
• Pass/Fail Breakdown: High-visibility indicators display compliant groups and highlight any overloaded axle combinations.
• Utilization Analysis: Instantly identify the axle group with the highest percentage of legal capacity.

4. FORMULA REFERENCE GUIDE
• Clear Documentation: In-app reference explaining the Federal Bridge Formula parameters and rules.
• Practical Regulations: Learn how axle spacing and group counts affect allowable road weights.

Designed specifically for heavy haulers, oversized transport operators, hotshot drivers, and commercial fleet managers.

Note: Calculations are provided for planning purposes. Always verify official weight compliance with local highway authorities and weigh stations prior to transport.
