A truck scale assembly comprised of a payload containment portion affixed to a frame, an array of load cell assemblies, and a display screen positioned on a pickup truck surface. The array features load cell assemblies arranged in spaced apart relationship along an underside of the payload containment portion to allow load information from various regions of the containment portion to be communicated to and visually displayed by the display screen, allowing a truck operator to understand payload weight and relative distribution in the payload containment portion of the pickup truck. One embodiment of the assembly is an aftermarket drop in liner installed in an existing truck bed assembly, and a second embodiment is factory installed, with the array sandwiched between an underside of the truck bed and the truck frame. Information from the array is transmitted by wired connection or wirelessly to the display screen.
