If you plan on doing any more weigh-ins and are willing to drive about 10 minutes further south from the Travel America scale you are using I can give you the code for the public scale at Exit 103. Turn left at the light after the exit and the scale is at the top of the hill. Type in 2424 at the kiosk and weigh as many times as you like.

I work there. We actually build the scales. We have one out front we built for visiting scale companies to look out when they are shopping a new supplier. It is a public scale with an automated kiosk. We also contract with the local police who constantly pull over commercial trucks pulling anything that might look overweight. I use the scale quite often to weigh my toy hauler.

Wow that's heavy. If I get one that's 30-40 less than I'm better off sticking with what I have. I need something to cover my bed. I'm not a fan of soft covers. Hard to put on when cold.
