    The steer axle brakes are for stopping, not for parking. If you were to pull the yellow knob and jack up the front end the wheels would spin freely.

    How fast do you all approach a scale?? It's not the Indy500. I also don't understand the reasoning behind pulling both the red/yellow knobs, Unless you're parked on a grade. Scales are level, or really, really close to level.
    Don't bind up your brakes with unneeded torque and you won't get false readings
