[VAL] Weigh Station Open



On a recent trip I surprisingly found a weigh station that was open. I
thought I would try to get my unit's weight, but noticed a very long line of
trucks. As I passed I also noticed that the line was moving very fast, like
they drove onto the scale, got a ticket and left. Is that how they work? Do
they cost anything? Can I weigh the trailer only and if so how do I adjust
the weight of the trailer for the amount the hitch is carrying? If I got the
weight of the entire rig, I could subtract the truck, but the truck usually
has extra weight in it, so this method won't work. Any ideas?
Maybe I could unhitch the trailer and pull the truck off the scale. Do you
think that line of truckers behind me would mind?
