How do you make sure you get a fair weight on a bulk load of wheels?
Short answer: Weigh your own load before it leaves using a platform scale if you have one, watch the buyer's weighing or ask for the docket showing gross, tare and net weight, check that the vehicle is weighed empty as well as full and agree how deductions will be calculated before loading, because a few minutes of checking protects the value of a full load.

Even a rough weight from your own scale gives you a number to compare with the buyer’s figure.
Gross, tare and net
A docket should show the full vehicle weight, the empty weight and the difference, which is the weight you are paid for.
Agree deductions
Knowing how contamination will be handled before the load is weighed avoids arguments afterwards.
