Before you go
- Ask about the last entry time; scales often stop taking loads before closing.
- A cargo net or tarp keeps bags and boards in place and saves an uncovered-load fee.
- Leave car batteries, paint and propane tanks at home; they need a separate drop-off.
- Ask which payment methods they take; some commercial sites bill on account only.
