How does the weighbridge work, and what does the ticket show?
Short answer: A weighbridge is a large platform scale that weighs your vehicle with its load on the way in and again when empty on the way out, and the ticket shows the gross weight, the tare weight and the net weight, which is the difference and the weight you are paid for, so check that the figures are plausible and keep the ticket as your record of what you delivered.
