What is CAT Scales reweigh policy?
A reweigh for $2.00 may be charged, after the first weigh, if all of the following are true:
- Same vehicle (tractor and trailer),
- Full price ticket is presented by the customer and its number is recorded on the reweigh ticket,
- Reweigh must be from the same scale as the full priced ticket,
- Reweigh must be within 24 hours of the full priced ticket.

but life does present honest "loopholes", use them as often as possible -
Reweigh no matter how long it takes (up to 24 hours I guess). But on the other part of your question, I don't think loading numerous loads and calling each weigh a reweigh would be cool or right.
Grumppy Thanks this. -
Yeah, I just recently loaded at a place in Yakima WA that required about 10 weighs before they finally conceded they were never going to get it right, and pulled the load.
Asked the lady at the T/S, and she said that reweighs are good for 24 hrs-all perfectly legal and moral.Grumppy Thanks this. -
Just follow CatScale's policy and pass the $20 on to the customer.

With tankers we do that all the time. It's a legitimate reweigh and not dishonest at all.
Now that bed bugger who was asking on the CB for someone who could scale 75,000 lbs and offering them $50 to scale and use his weight ticket number...that would be dishonest.Grumppy Thanks this. -
Have been approached after scaling and paying by other drivers. They'd ask for the scale ticket number and truck#. Then weigh their truck and trailer and only pay the reweigh.
I choose not to get mixed up in that business. Just like company driver's selling fuel and oil.
I've hauled plenty of loads that ask for loaded and empty scale tickets.
Does the reweigh have to be on same scale.
Say I scale loaded in Laredo. Then scale empty in Dallas. Can i claim a reweigh 450 miles from original scale location.
My company pays all scales, so nor a biggie. Now just curious.
never mind reread cat scale rule #3. Same scale.
