I go to the truck stop. 2 minutes from my house. Nice living in the middle of the state, so close to all the major highways.

Haha, You got that right!
Hmmm, I wonder.... are we allowed to do it? Or we gotta pay for it or what?
All I rememeber about 4 years ago, me and bunch of other guys with f-bodys sneaked in to some loading station where the huge weight platform was, and we weighted it there hahaah. It was at midnight or so!
Some funny ****.

Most Tracks will have the scales open on Race weekends, or you can go to a Metal Scrap yard and by law are required to have certified scales. some will let you do it for free other will want a few bucks.

Im not sure about everyone else's area, but in TN it goes like this:

-The scales are accurate to within +- 10lbs.
-It cost me $5 to weigh a non-commercial vehicle
-Most truck scales, they have a phone to call in saying you need to be weighed.....about 10 feet in the air
-Just pull your car on the scale, walk back, and call it in
-Then they will tell you your ticket number, and go inside and pay/get your truck slip!

I go to a local boneyard with a truck scale and IIRC, they are also +/- 10lbs on the readings.

My father owns a grain elevator, so I use his scale. If any others on here are country hicks like myself thats usually a good place to go. The scales have to be certified every year by the state, so they're accurate.
