Freightliner Trucks, a cornerstone of the North American and Australasian heavy-duty trucking industry, is known for its innovation, reliability, and versatility across all transport sectors. From long-haul Cascadia sleepers to tough vocational 114SD and Coronado models, Freightliner has something for every fleet.

However, with strict road weight compliance rules in New Zealand, Australia, USA, Canada, UK, and Europe, operators need a reliable and accurate way to monitor their load weights. That’s where Loadsense comes in.
