The system and method may include determining a present location of a vehicle to be weighed, verifying identification information of the vehicle to be weighed and receiving a vehicle weight from a server remote from the wireless device. The system and method may also include exchanging payment information between one or more servers and a wireless device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system of storing and providing weighment information related to a vehicle weighment, comprising: at least one server having a memory, the server configured to execute code stored in the memory for performing a vehicle weighment process and storing information related to the vehicle weighment process, store account information of a client wireless device and weighment data of at least one vehicle, listed in the account information of the client wireless device, transmit account information to the wireless client device for a vehicle weighment process, receive revised account information from the wireless device, receive a request from the wireless client device for stored information required to perform the weighment, and receive weighment data obtained at a vehicle weigh scale from the wireless client device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, further comprising: a remote server operatively connected to the at least one server, wherein the remote server is configured to receive a request for payment of fees associated with the vehicle weighment process from the at least one server or the wireless client device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the remote server is further configured to receive payment for a weighment process. ### Claim 4 A non-transitory computer readable medium including code that when executed by a processor causes the processor to perform operations comprising: transmitting visual representation information defining a graphical user interface related to providing weighment information of a vehicle weighment process to a wireless client device, the graphical user interface including fillable information fields for account information for performing the vehicle weighment process on a display of a client wireless device; receiving information from the wireless client device including filled information fields; and storing the information received from the wireless client device including the account information in the server. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4, wherein the account information includes at least one of vehicle information, payment information and weigh history. ### Claim 6 (depends on 4) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4, wherein the account information includes at least one of a current position of the wireless client device and a location of a vehicle scale. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 5, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to receive and store weighment records of vehicle weighments from at least one of a client wireless device and a vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 8 (depends on 4) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to transmit a vehicle weighment record to the wireless client device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to initiate communication with the vehicle scale instrument and transmit at least one of vehicle information, payment information and weigh history to the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 9, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to receive a weighment type and an associated fee for a vehicle weighment from the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to relay at least one of the weighment type and the associated fee to the wireless client device for acceptance or rejection. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to forward an authorization request from the wireless client device to remote server configured to conduct payment authorization for a weighment process and to forward a response from the remote server to the wireless client device. ### Claim 13 (depends on 7) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to transmit the vehicle information to the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 14 (depends on 7) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 7, wherein the code when executed by the processor further configures the processor to receive weighment data including at least one of time of weighment, date of weighment and vehicle weight from the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 15 (depends on 4) The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 4, wherein the visual representation information is a markup language document. ### Claim 16 A computer-implemented method of providing weighment information related to a vehicle weighment, comprising: transmitting, by a server, visual representation information defining a graphic user interface in order to provide weighment information of a vehicle weighment process; receiving information including filled information fields; and storing the information including the account information in the server, wherein the graphic user interface includes fillable information fields. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the account information includes at least one of vehicle information, payment information and weigh history. ### Claim 18 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, wherein the account information includes at least one of a current position of the wireless client device and a location of a vehicle scale. ### Claim 19 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: receiving and storing weighment records of vehicle weighments in a memory of the server. ### Claim 20 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: transmitting a vehicle weighment record from the server. ### Claim 21 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: initiating communication with a vehicle scale instrument; and transmitting at least one of vehicle information, payment information and weigh history to the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 22 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, further comprising: receiving, at the server, a weighment type and an associated fee for a vehicle weighment from the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 23 (depends on 22) The method of claim 22, further comprising: relaying at least one of the weighment type and the associated fee to the wireless client device for acceptance or rejection. ### Claim 24 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: forwarding an authorization request received from a wireless client device to a remote server configured to conduct payment authorization for a weighment process; and forwarding a response from the remote server to the wireless client device. ### Claim 25 (depends on 21) The method of claim 21, further comprising: transmitting the vehicle information to the vehicle scale instrument. ### Claim 26 (depends on 16) The method of claim 16, further comprising: receiving weighment data including at least one of time of weighment, date of weighment and vehicle weight.
