Im still maybe not understanding if/how you got ripped off....


Did it happen in this order:

Truck Scale (get weight)
Dump ferrous from truck
Go to small non-ferrous scale and unload non-ferrous and get pay ticket for an amount of non-ferrous
Truck Scale (final tare weight)
Initial Truck Scale weight - Final tare truck tare weight - non-ferrous = final amount to be paid for ferrous


If it happened like that, then that seems correct to me. However if it went:


Truck Scale (get weight)
Dump ferrous from truck
Truck Scale (final tare weight)
Go to small non-ferrous scale and unload non-ferrous and get pay ticket for an amount of non-ferrous



And THEN they subtracted out the non-ferrous, then yes, they shorted you.
