Chicago, IL — Relay Payments announced today that its fintech platform now integrates with CAT Scale’s Weigh My Truck mobile app, letting drivers and carriers pay scale fees directly from their Relay accounts at over 2,200 locations nationwide.
Weight‑ticket compliance has long been a hidden cost for OTR truck driver jobs. Every time a driver pulls into a CAT Scale, a cash transaction or a paper check slows the load‑out and adds paperwork to the back‑office. With more than 1,000 carriers already using Relay for fuel, lumper and broker payments, the new link eliminates a separate payment step and keeps cash flow visible on a single dashboard.
Emily Neuman, executive vice president of operations at Relay, said the company’s goal is to become a fully digital, end‑to‑end payments provider for trucking. "Integrating with some of the most popular options to pay for scales allows drivers to use Relay to pay for all over‑the‑road expenses, while easily monitoring their cash flow," she explained. Heather DeBaillie, vice president of operations and marketing for CAT Scale, added that the partnership “offers significant time savings” for the thousands of Relay customers who now can settle Weigh My Truck transactions without leaving the app. The integration covers every CAT Scale site, which totals more than 2,200 across the United States.
What This Means for Drivers
CDL‑A drivers and owner‑operators can now tap their Relay balance the moment a scale prints a ticket, avoiding the need to carry cash or chase receipts. The payment is recorded instantly, so fleet managers receive real‑time data for FMCSA regulations reporting and can reconcile expenses without manual entry. OTR truck driver routes that cross multiple states will see fewer stops for paperwork, letting them focus on moving freight. For drivers hunting new truck driver jobs, the feature adds a modern perk that many carriers tout when recruiting, especially as trucking companies hiring look to streamline every dollar on the road.
Industry Reaction
Industry observers note that digital payment tools are reshaping the logistics landscape. Carriers that have already adopted Relay report smoother cash‑flow management and fewer disputes over scale charges. Trade groups say the move aligns with broader efforts to reduce administrative overhead and keep drivers on the road longer. While CAT Scale has not announced additional partners, the rollout sets a benchmark for other scale networks that may follow suit.
