A method of monitoring the weight distribution on a vehicle includes measuring characteristic values of axles, comparing the measured values with expected values, and when the measured values differ from the expected values, sending warning signals that the vehicle may be experiencing a problem. The method of monitoring the weight distribution on a vehicle is used to determine the weight shift of cargo on the vehicle. The present invention allows the driver to check the weight distribution on the vehicle while operating the vehicle. Characteristic values include any value of the axles that are indicative an effect of weight on the vehicle. Such characteristic values may include acceleration, deceleration, stress, strain, and, of course, weight. Detectors measure the characteristic values on axles of a vehicle and send value signals to a control which receives the value signals, performs computations based on the measured values, and compares the computations with expected values of the axles. The control sends warning signals to a display, when the measured values differ from the expected values.

1. A method of monitoring weight distribution of axles on a vehicle comprising:a. measuring a characteristic value of said axles of said vehicle; b. comparing said measured value with an expected value; and c. sending a signal indicating that said axles may be experiencing a problem relating to a potential shift in the weight distribution on said vehicle, based upon the comparison in step (b).
