Weight control

Acts, claims, grain weighing

Details

  • Weighing

    Truck scales full/empty or elevator scales; the document is a stamped weighbill.

  • Discrepancies

    Allowed scale error ~0.1–0.2%; excess — grounds for a claim or reweighing.

  • Act

    A discrepancy act is drawn on-site with driver and lab tech; a photo of the weighbridge display is evidence.

  • Claim

    Deadline — per contract (usually 3 days); attach the weighbill, analysis, waybills to the act; court without an act is weak.

Weight control is trader money: a 0.5% 'shortload' on 100t is 500kg of grain. Every truck is weighed, every discrepancy — an act on delivery day.
