For cargo to be moved safely and effectively, a truck load weight monitoring system is required Overloading of trucks not only poses a risk to road safety but also causes excessive wear and tear on the vehicle, resulting in higher maintenance costs andreduced fuel efficiency. To address these challenges, an advanced weight monitoring system has been developed to measure and monitor the weight of truck loads using HX711 loadcell. When it comes to monitoring and managing the weight of truck loads. Overloading of trucks has been a longstanding issue in the industry. It not only compromises road safety but also has detrimental effects on the vehicles themselves. Excessive weight can lead to increased braking distances, compromised steering control, and increased risk of tire blowouts, all of which contribute to higher accident rates. This system utilizes advanced technologies and sensors to accurately measure and monitor the weight distribution of cargo carried by trucks. By providing real-time weight information using GPS and GSM modules, operators and fleet managers can make informed decisions to ensure compliance with weight regulations and prevent overloading
