Case Study: The Anderson Company avoids overload fines and increases hauling capacity 10% with Trimble's LOADRITE X2350

Virginia Contractor Saves $2,000/week by Avoiding Overload Fines

Anderson Company Virginia, a full‑service site work, excavation and demolition contractor, was managing a five‑month excavation in downtown Washington, DC that required removing 270,000 cubic yards to four off‑site sites. With no weighbridge onsite they were incurring frequent $300 overload fines (about $1,800/week) and began under‑loading trucks by about two tons each; with roughly 300 trucks a day this under‑loading equated to 600 fewer tons daily (≈30 extra truckloads) and wasted hauling capacity and costs.

Their dealer installed a LOADRITE X2350 excavator weighing system, which allowed operators to load trucks accurately without slowing work. Since installation Anderson eliminated overload fines, increased daily material moved by about 10% (shortening the removal phase by roughly 10 days), and realized potential disposal savings of about $240,000 on the job — a payback the company expects to recover on this project alone.
