To weigh or not to weigh
Ok, I have a 2004 f150, 4x4, 4.6l with tow pkg. Am towing an Aerolite 718d with a supposed dry weight of 3050 lbs. There are only 2 of us and we travel pretty light, so I am not really concerned about...

I was wondering if they will let me weigh on state weigh scales for a few $$?
Usually not for money. In some states, when the scalemaster is not there, you can still drive over the sales and view the weight through the window. Other states block off the scales so you can't.
I have never talked to a state scalesmaster about getting a private weigh when the scales are open...
Our county is mostly beaches and golf courses now, not much need for truck scales.
Ah. What about a landfill? Or waste transfer station? Or scrap metal place, or rock quarry?
Until I have a rig sorted out, I like scaling before the trip, where I have the option to change things. After I'm 100 miles down the road it's too late to change what I've loaded. The most I can do is change the hitch setup or shift the load around.
