You could also try a large landscaping supplier (eggrock, gravel, mulch,
etc.) You drive on the scale, then drive off to get loaded, then drive on to
get your loaded weight, they charge for the difference unloaded and loaded.
One near me was nice enough to let me use their scale to weight my trailer.

Also found out my old F250 weight about 6500#.

Just go to a farmer grain mill as they all have very accurate scales
to weight grain in trailers and trucks. That is where i weight mine. I
am guessing it should be around 6600 lbs or so

Yup the pa turnpike has imbedded "scales" at the toll booths. They are not
dead accurate, like say a CAT scale house, but then they are only to make
sure
they charge correctly. There has been talk over the years of upgrading to
more
accurate scales in an attempt to catch trucls running over weight, or trucks
with
tag axles running loaded with the axles up to avoid paying proper toll.
