You need to make a you tube video that teaches the people in the truck stop how to do this on their end!

This is wonderful. Need one for every counter clown who manages to screw it up and we waste driving time. Drive around again after paying for a screw up.

Make their video less than 20 seconds so they can watch it as needed and cost me 20!seconds to a minute versus 10-15minutes.

Thanks

Thank God cuz this was getting infuriating at the scale trying to figure this out, thank you

I think the Scale workers all need to be retrained. The other day, I had a single steel beam, roughly 10k pounds, and the scale ticket printed 50k gross weight. There have been many times with full loads the scale will show my gross weight as 100k - 110k pounds. I almost always have to do another reweigh.

I pull a 48’ spread flatbed with a cascadia sleeper cab and I can always weigh in a single take. Pulled a 53’ stepdeck with a volvo before - same thing.
This may be necessary only for trucks with excessively long wheel base

The problem is half these truck stop employees are not getting trained now and can't do it

Does the ticket mention both trailer axles?

[bermandon]

Does your rear axel need to stay off the scale for the first weigh?

The "CAT certified weight master made made me go through this procedure for a 4 plataform scale 🤦‍♂️ my 80.000 pounds printed out as 96000 . Scale 2122
