Like usual I got shafted. As I got off the scale they started spraying the yard with water for dust control. So in driving back to the scale I was making my tires into monster trucks size. Also they added gallons of water to the scale. Hence increasing my weight and reducing the weight of my load.

I will guess to the tune of 100 pounds. Ryucxgijb. Bad words under my breath.

120 lbs of clean steel at 115/ ton. $6.90 for a truck load I’m done I quit
