Lose 800lbs overnight! Act now and we'll send TWO bottles!

There's a WA DOT highway scale just 5 minutes from my house. I had a weight I had taken of my truck some time ago. Then when I got my new EC, I of course weighed again. Came out to 7,250. That's always been a "wow" for me.

Well, I recently re-weighed my truck and TC - empty vs. loaded again. I'm guessing the DOT must have recalibrated the scale, because with no real change in water, batteries, fuel, etc, My TC now weighs 800lbs less, @ 6,400.

Truck and TC together are 14,580.

I guess since they regularly weigh rigs @ 105,000, what's a fudge factor of +/- 800?

I'd say we probably need more than one scale to validate. 😉 I'd start with 3. 🙂

How do you know they're accurate NOW?

Wow that's a lot to carry around, and I thought my 4000 lb camper was heavy

This is at least the 3rd or 4th complaint posted here of CAT scales being off in the last couple months.

EDIT:
Sorry. Just read it was DOT scale, not CAT. But still....

You thought his camper was more than 6400, wow!

I would have thought that you would be heavier


My TC and Truck full diesel fuel, 2 30# Btls propane and water, empty holding tanks... not packed for travel... 13,700 pounds
