In addition to all of this, trucks can now be weighed even at highway speeds.

"We are excited to bring our latest enforcement technology solutions to North Carolina. These projects in Hendersonville and Halifax represent an evolution for the state's operations and emphasize our commitment to advancing road safety and efficiency."
