If you read the articles about what they say about these scales,they say they are within 300 pounds of State highway scales.Im thinking thats a good tolerance since most states will let you slide a little heavy.Not every scale and not every state,but a lot will.Now I dont know what the laws are regarding a grain elevator,Id say they had to be less than 300 pounds off,but I havent ever heard anybody say anything about it.All Ive ever heard is people claim they weighed light.Anything that I hauled they weighed it light if I was paid by weight.Of course they weighed you on their own scales.The other end weighed you on their scales.Id say they are allowed some difference but not sure how much.Then if you give or take 1000 plus 300 on the scales its getting right around 1500 pounds,which is around 20 bushels it could be off and nothing is wrong,depending on how far he is hauling.That would work for a days running or 600-700 miles if he didnt buy any fuel. Take 20 bushels off of every truck at a grain elevator and thats probably how they pay their help.Just guessing and I have no way of proving that,just a suspicion.Id say I would trust the trucker more than the grain elevator,but thats just me. http://www.air-weighscales.com/

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
