Our yard has certified scales
A lot of the moving company's and others also use them
Drive on >> Horn blows >> Drive off >> Off load material >> Drive back on >> Horn blows >> pull off scale and go into office to get paid
I can't imagine any winds short of hurricane affecting the scale that much
Scale right now for cars is 95 a ton or .0475 a pounds
So 160 pounds would be $7.60
No need to confirm the weight with the yard while still on the scale before going into the yard and then again when leaving before you pull off the scale
Waste of time , The CERTIFIED weights, in and out, are printed right on the weigh slip with the amount paid
There is no read out that can be seen from the cab of the truck, only place where the weight can be seen is at the machine that prints the ticket
If the wind did make you lite 160 pounds on the weigh in >> how do you know it didn't make you 160 pounds lite on the way out? Thereby giving you "true" weight
OR maybe at some point the wind has made you heavy on weigh in and lite on weigh out >> Isn't that were the song "extra money blowing in the wind" came from??
