Getting what you deserve at scrap yard (keep them honest)

As a retired driver, stay away from the state run weigh stations or you will have trouble you really don't want. They can legally pull a state inspection on any "truck" especially if they have some sort of load on.
I have seen fines for $100. per clearance light out, and bad steer tires are usually good for $500. fine, etc.
I once seen a rv hauler (delivery driver) rack up over $5000. in fines for pulling onto a scale he shouldn't have. In Ind. our trucks were considered under size but we had to have our dot # and state stickers in view as we went past.

For weights I would suggest go to a farm grain elevator, like a county co-op, those are state or county certified.
We used to drive our racecar down to the local co-op to see how much we had lightened it.
