    This reminds me of my last haul to the yard. Turns out the scale was only 20' so the truck and trailer had to be weighed each. Drive on - truck weighs whatever. Pull ahead - trailer weighs whatever. Unload. DO THE SAME FOR WEIGHOUT!!
    I got screwed by the yard because they said my truck weighs the same both times. I didn't take anything off the truck because that's where my non ferrous was.
    Did a little research on here after and that's the way it's done. Trailer tongue weight will change thereby lightening truck weight = more steel delivered = $.
    Don't let it happen to you so weigh both in and out and both weights will be different numbers
