Secure your Load!
Before leaving, you can pull off to the side of the driveway to strap and secure your load. We don’t have any tarps, plastic, ropes, etc. available so you’ll need to bring your own.
Using the Scale: Step One
If you’re picking up any material, you’ll need to weigh in first. You’ll drive just to the right of the building, onto the weigh scale, marked by the long orange metal bars. Stop at the window and talk to the sales associate. They’ll get you weighed in and then instruct you where you’ll need to go.
Using the Scale: Step Two
Next, you’ll want to park just past the bin of material that you’re wanting, leaving enough space that a large front-end loader can still access the material bin. We’ll radio and tell the loader the kind of material, so they’ll already know. The loader will often approach you and speak to you to double check the amount of material you’re wanting. As you are being loaded, if you decide there is enough material in your vehicle, you can always signal to the loader “that’s enough” by making eye contact and then giving them a thumbs up.
Using the Scale: Step Three
Once you’re loaded, you’ll drive back onto the scale to weigh out the same direction you weighed in, this usually means going in a big circle. The associate at the window will instruct you if you need to pull further ahead if you have a trailer. If you have a trailer, once you’ve gotten the thumbs up at weigh out, you can either back up to the window, step out of your vehicle onto the scale deck and walk to the person at the window, or pull around to the customer parking out front and walk into the office. We’ll get you all checked out and then you’ll be on your way.
