yes
the scale at my yard has 20kg increments- which is approx 45lbs
so, if i bring in 259kgs, they will record it as 240kgs
thats how my yard works
they have another 2 smaller scales which have 1kg increments
- i would like to use those but when i have a big load, its too much work for both them & me.
i asked- they said i HAVE TO use the other scale.
my point is-im getting cheated for at least 10 kgs on every visit that i use the weighbridge scale
i dont like cheating at all
and i dont like it that im getting cheated regularly either.
i try to bring in clean stuff but the yard does not play fair.
the past few months, i sweep my yard, collect all the dust n dirt & add it to my my steel or shred/sub grade loads.
its just a few kgs but it should make some difference.
