    Curious how you know what the VA scales weighed you at. I've never seen a display showing weights at any scales in VA.

    If a scale does not have you stop and let the scale settle they will not get accurate readings. They know this and look for numbers to jump above a certain level. Ever been asked to back up?

    I just checked my Prepass account and your right, the weigh in motion is there. Pretty funny. My weight on one load varied 27,000 pounds as I rolled over different scales.

    The ones in the right lane just before you get to the get off ramp to the scalehouse, the ones right under the camera, the ones that prepass uses for the weights on your account on their website, the ones that you're making the fuss about, THE ONES YOU RUN OVER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND ARE A MARVEL OF PHYSICS THAT THEY ARE ACCURATE WITHIN 50,000 LBS. Those highway scales.
