So, ASK ASK ASK another driver that is willing to give you some advise. \n2.  Roll into that scale at the posted speed and by all means don’t be on your phone\n3. Roll down the window to listen for loud speaker prompts\n4. Disengage your engine brake(jake brake) so you’re not jerking across the scale\nGenerally don’t be that drivernon the side of the highway just before a scale. Get your stuff together as soon as you’re done loading or at the Cat Scale

I never trust any shipper's scale, Also if your dispatcher tells you to get an empty scale ticket before you get to the shipper, Fill your fuel tanks, Then scale it. Most times it's Because the shipper is going to load you to the max weight.
