That's exactly what I want to do, drive my truck through a set of CHP scales. :slap:

check at a local recycler(beer cans not cars).  Mine has a scale.

put it on the trailer we know you have, drive through.

later date do it again without the trailer.

i did it last week.

9 times outa 10, if you walk in and tell em what you want to do, they will gladly allow it.

also, heres a hint. most large trucking companies have thier own scales and will allow the public to weigh for a small fee, my company charges 6 dollars. there are scales everywhere, find one

theres 3 on the way to the con on 80 and in trukee


also, try not being a richard to those who answer questions you ask

I'll have to work on that. :greengrin:

Ok, there are scales at the transfer station, I'll trailer the rig down there, unload it at home and weigh again with out rig.

Thanks!
