If the scales only read to 20 kg, AND they are gov't certified, the readout should be switching between 240 and 260 kg when you get to 250kg on the scale. In other words, the yard gets screwed on some loads and the customer gets screwed on some. At least in theory.

Fair enough. But, keep in mind, the most you will be "screwed" is $2. I look at it this way; I could drive across town to save 15 cents on a gallon of gas, or I can pump right now and pay an extra $2 to be done with it now at my convenience. Sometimes $2 is not worth sweating, or even wasting twenty heart beats of extra stress. I pour more than that down the drain in backwash every week.
