Default Where to weigh car in Tampa?

I'm sure there is some place really obvious that I am missing but with Bradenton essentially shut down until August, where else can I go to weigh my car in the Tampa/St. Pete area. I am really interested in a 'before' weight as I am about to start ripping stuff out and drilling holes, and would like to go soon.

Orlando is not out of the question but OSW doesn't usually open the scales for TnT. Anywhere else???

If you decide to come to OSW you can use the scales on TnT nights. Just check in with the timeslip booth and if that doesn't work I have the combination to the lock

The truck stop at 301 and I4 is where I've always taken mine. CAT certified and sometimes they'll even do it for free... Be prepared to either bring a pole or ask the lady to trigger the scale for you as the button is mounted up high at the window height for the big rigs...

Perfect, thanks Joe, this is just what I was looking for and it can also be used as a great excuse to drop in the ol' Hard Rock for some 'boob bread' at Floyds (if youve ever eaten there you know what I mean).

4 ft broom stick sufficient?

Yeah that should be fine, and once they see that you are in a car they will probably turn it on for you once you get settled on the scale.

Another option would be the Pinellas county dump. They weigh you in and out to determine the cost, so it'd probably be free.
