my local landscaper has a scale they use to weigh mulch and decorative rocks. sometimes they park a tractor on it but sometimes its open after hours.

Don't know about down south there, but up here in the NW Burbs, ther's a TA truck stop off of 90. You can pull in any time - push the button and pay $8.50. They'll give you a print out with the weight of each axle. Only problem is you have to get out of the car and reach up about 7 feet for the button. Should be able to find one down that way...

What about if you went to any of the scales that the big trucks use on the interstate or maybe a shipping dock.

The scales along the interstate are ran by the state police. Now I know from experiance you dont want to be on those scales,atleast if youre a trucker. I asked when I was in there one day and the answer was. " we cant do that heres youre overweight ticket how will you be paying for the fine"
