Talking to a CAT scale repair man, he said the scales are platform scales and are designed to have a amount of weight across the platform of the scale. When only one side has weight it will read incorrectly. As it did in my test. He said why do you think we invest the costs of poles or curbs at our scales? to keep the dummys from driving off center and getting a wrong scale reading number. Makes sense.

So according to stripit, my “one side then the other” weights might not be the same when added together as weighing the whole thing at once. Am I understanding correctly?
