Getting weighed

For those of you that have had their trucks and trailers weighed, what/how did you do it?

I either go to the dump, when you pull up to the window, your on the scale, and i just read it. Or, pull onto an unused Freeway weigh scale. Some of them have a mechanical scale you can see thru the window, or a digital readout on a pole.

Most large truck fuel stops have scales. Not sure if your state has
the larger quick trip truck stops or not, They will weigh your truck, by axel and your camper together and seperate for about $7.00
It's a good ideal to have it done, Oh yea, one more place. Are you near a state farmers market? They will do it most of the times free
becasue the state tax takes care of it.
Good luck.

Some trucking companies have scales that operate 24/7 and have readouts so the drivers can see them. I just go after hours, late eve or weekends and drive on myself and see the weight. The one I go to is kinda small and does only one axle at a time which is good, I weigh the truck one axle at a time then go home and get the trailer and do it again and can see the trailer weight and tongue weight.
