Chris,
Any scale that's used for trade (buying and selling) must be certified
by the State, County, or some other government body. It should certainly
be close enough for our purposes.
The best thing is that fella who Terry talks about, where he weighs
every single wheel. He'll pick up a side-to-side imbalance that would be
difficult to see with most motor truck scales. The scale at our quarry
is raised instead of in a pit, so such measurements would be impossible
on it.
The important thing is to get your rig weighed, and weigh the tounge.
The measurements don't have to be dead-nuts, just close.
