Chicago, Illinois — Relay Payments, a long‑time payment partner for the trucking sector, has added its accounts to the CAT Scale Weigh My Truck app, allowing fleets to settle scale fees through Relay at more than 2,200 locations across the country.

The move comes as carriers scramble to keep pace with rising fuel costs, labor fees, and regulatory compliance. By consolidating payments into a single digital platform, fleets can reduce paperwork, lower the risk of late fees, and maintain tighter cash‑flow control. FMCSA regulations now require carriers to track all payments and expenses in a transparent manner, and this integration provides a ready‑made solution for that audit trail.

Relay’s EVP of operations, Emily Neuman, said the company is “committed to being a fully digital, end‑to‑end payments provider for trucking.” The partnership means drivers can use Relay to pay for all over‑the‑road expenses—fuel, unloading, broker, and scale fees—while monitoring cash flow in real time. CAT Scale’s VP of operations and marketing, Heather DeBaillie, added that the integration offers “significant time savings” for Relay customers. Since launching its digital payment solution in 2019, Relay has grown to serve more than 350,000 drivers, 90,000 carriers, and 1,500 truck stops nationwide.

What This Means for Drivers

Owner‑operators and CDL‑A drivers can now process scale payments directly from the Weigh My Truck app, eliminating the need for paper receipts or separate banking transfers. The new feature supports instant settlement, reducing the lag between hauling and payment receipt. Fleet managers will see a unified reporting dashboard that tracks fuel, lumper, scale, and cash transactions in one place, simplifying monthly reconciliations and audit preparation.

Industry Reaction

Many carriers have welcomed the expansion, citing the convenience of handling multiple OTR expenses through a single app. The consolidation aligns with a broader trend in the industry toward digital payment platforms that support real‑time reconciliation and compliance reporting. Trucking groups anticipate that the integration will lower administrative overhead and improve cash‑flow visibility for both small fleets and large carriers.
