    I'll comment but not REALLY answer your question.

    Waste Management at one time bought some kind of scale or measuring device on their frontend load trucks when I worked for them. I dont think they lasted very long & were expensive for them to keep up mechanically. However, they would go in & out of the landfill several times a day & it would be muddy or dusty etc, so I am not sure how well they would hold up otherwise.

    In short, I know someone makes a "permanate" scale of sorts that you can mount on your truck/trailer to read the weight at all times without manually putting out portable scales etc every time. I am not sure of the cost etc.

    Sorry I couldn't be of more help but hope this puts you on the right track.

    I use the right weigh gauge, it can be calibrated. And should be calibrated every three to six months when it is convenient. If you get one get the BIG one, it is much easier to see exactly what your weight is.
