A reweigh for $4.50 may be charged, after the first weigh, if all of the following are true:

1. Same vehicle (tractor and trailer),
2. Full price ticket is presented by the customer and its number is recorded on the reweigh ticket,
3. Reweigh must be from the same scale as the full priced ticket,
4. Reweigh must be within 24 hours of the full priced ticket.

We know there are times when it is difficult to get a load legal, after paying for a full price weigh ($14.00) and two reweighs (for a charge of $23.00), the on duty manager may elect to void all further reweighs until you are legal. The reweigh that shows you legal will be the last one you will have to pay for. The total charge in this case would be $27.50.
