    Hmm, LoL Ditchdigger, I never thought about the weight of the gas in the truck going and coming. Nice observation. I know I have shown up with various amounts in the tank. Whether full tank, almost empty tank, and everywhere in between.

    He has empty weights ranging from 5280-7200.. Soo its obvious fuel weight has nothing to do with it. He's getting ripped off!

    Yeah. I was just pointing out that tjlock's confidence based on getting the same light weight on every trip was misplaced. He could be getting ripped off as well, although for not as much. Or like I said, it might just average out, although that's poor business practice. There's no way a truck weighs exactly the same every time it crosses the scale.

    3) 6500lb third load with trailer after being emptied

    4) 7200lbs 4th load with trailer after being emptied
    I read that as a 700 pound difference.
    That's not fuel
    That's not bad business practice

    That's fraud.
    I hope he goes to jail if he's doing that to people.
