With my 200 lb buddy onboard, it weighed 8540! That includes a box full of tools, half tank of fuel, a chain, hydraulic jack and the ARE tonneau cover. It's a good thing I lost the extra weight of the kitty and muffler!

im thinking if they pay by the pound for scrap, i wouldnt trust it. i would go to a certified scale. however, if it is used in trade it should be inspected by the state, not sure about your states laws though.

[stump0331]

yeah im thinkin i should try a truck stop scale next

[raveer2000]

Go to a CAT scale at a truck stop.. They are Guaranteed to be correct.

[pipelayerjdh]

Maybe go to a grain depot?

[navydiver]

I agree Stump...use a certified scale at a truck stop. I've used them many times in my cross country moves (Navy) and found them to be pretty accurate. Let us know how it tips out.
