                   CORPORATE FACT SHEET

Overview:          TruckWeight Inc. is a technology company focused on leading-
                   edge solutions that improve the productivity, profitability, and
                   regulatory compliance of commercial trucking operations. Its
                   wireless onboard scales for trucks, tractors, and trailers give
                   customers the ability to quickly and cost-effectively monitor
                   payload in real time.


                   Smart Scale, the flagship product, is designed for simplicity and
                   affordability. Available for both air-ride and mechanical
                   suspensions, it helps customers maximize legal payload; control
                   loading and adjustment times; limit exposure to overweight
                   violations; reduce chronic equipment repairs associated with
                   overloading; and create a more reliable, safe, and streamlined
                   approach to vehicle loading and compliance.

Customers:         TruckWeight's wireless onboard scale appeals to commercial
                   truck operators who want an accurate, affordable onboard scale
                   that's simple to use; provides a reading from the cab, the loader,
                   or within 500 feet of the vehicle; and eliminates the complicated
                   installation and maintenance concerns surrounding wires, cables,
                   and electrical connections.


                   Smart Scale's ultra low voltage makes it safe to use with any type
                   of freight. Early adopters include haulers of forest products,
                   refuse, steel, agriculture, asphalt and aggregates, containerized
                   freight, and liquid and dry bulk products.

Core Product:   TruckWeight introduced Smart Scale for air suspensions in 2005.
                In 2008, the company applied its wireless technology to
                suspensions with mechanical springs.


                Smart Scale uses sensors to measure subtle changes in a
                vehicle's suspension and relays this data to a handheld receiver
                using a low-powered radio transmitter. A small computer in the
                receiver interprets the data and provides a weight that's accurate
                to within 0.3% for air suspensions and 1% for spring suspensions.
                The wireless receiver has a range of 500 feet, allowing readings
                from the cab, a loader, or a safe distance from the vehicle.


                Smart Scale is simple enough for most people to install without
                special skills or tools in about 30 minutes for a typical tractor-trailer
                unit. Its waterproof, weatherproof, shock-resistant, and
                non-corrosive housing requires no regular maintenance, and the
                Smart Scale is accurate in temperature extremes ranging from
                -40 C to 70 C (-40 F to 158 F). The sensors use AA batteries.
