<p>[QUOTE="D.Tibbitt, post: 12133728, member: 114099"]Yes dumping the bags changes the weight... when u get good at it and have dump valves on drives and trailer that u can dump when u flip a switch u can really mess with the scale house and get by with an overweight load that looks legal if it's an axle scale.... Hahahaha</p><p><br /></p><p>If you continue to have problems then load the freight a little bit further back of the center point on trailer</p><p><br /></p><p>Also with the cat scales, they are going to be perfectly level. Least they should be. Once u pull onto it, use the break to get stopped and then let off the break, it should hold in place... or hold the service breaks, just don't pull the breaks and dump the bags[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
