Normal day no. But when you pull on any scale . It will move around as you on driving on it.

That I understand >> and as soon as it settles out , they punch the ticket , blow the horn and away I go
I have always figured if there is any discrepancy > 50/50 chance it is in the yards favor >> as well as there is a 50/50 chance it is in my favor

It all evens out in the end

You are wrong. Not always and didn't for me. Not a waste of 3 seconds to ask if what I see on the display matches what they have. It was near closing time and they were in a hurry and didn't do the normal wait 5 seconds before hitting the button. Just like it's not a waste of time to weigh your scrap on your own scale before you go to the yard.

Do what you want, but don't whine when there is a large discrepancy not in your favor, as for me, i'd rather tip yard workers rather than give the yard free scrap like I did today. If I want to give away free scrap it will be to a fellow scrapper.
