Short answer: You usually enter through a gate or office, follow signs or staff directions to the weighbridge, may be asked to complete a short induction or declaration about your load, drive onto the scale to be weighed in with your load, are directed to an unloading area, unload under supervision, return to the scale to be weighed out and then collect your payment at the office, so the visit follows a fixed sequence that staff will guide you through.
