    Scrap yard scale accuracy

    Last week I loaded up my pickup with misc. steel items and hauled it to Sioux Falls and sold it for tin price. I thought it weird that it just happened to be exactly 1000 Lbs. This morning I hauled another load in and they payed me for exactly 900 Lbs. While in the office waiting in line to get paid, I watched the scale readings as a couple of people drove across it and their scale appears to only be accurate to the nearest 20 Lbs. I expected it to be more accurate than that. I'm wondering how accurate those kinds of large scales normally are? Is that an industry standard?
