(2) Obtaining weight tickets. The carrier must obtain a weight ticket signed by the weighmaster for each weighing required under this rule, with tare and gross weights evidenced by separate tickets, and the driver must enter the number of the bill of lading accompanying the shipment involved. No other additions or alterations will be made on the ticket. True copies must be attached to the receipt or bill of lading accompanying the shipment, and retained in the carrier's file for three years. A true copy of each weight ticket pertaining to a shipment must be given to the shipper at the weighing station if the shipper is present or at delivery of the shipment if the shipper is not present at the weighing. A part load for any one shipper not exceeding 1,000 pounds may be weighed on a certified scale prior to being loaded on the vehicle. Additionally, an automobile or other article weighing in excess of 500 pounds which is mounted on wheels may be weighed separately by obtaining the weight of such article on a certified scale prior to loading on the vehicle to be used in its transportation.
(3) Minimum weight shipments. Before accepting a shipment of household goods for transportation which appears to be subject to the minimum weight provisions of the carrier's tariff, the carrier must advise the shipper of the minimum weight provisions.
(4) Reweighing of shipment. The carrier must reweigh the shipment, if the shipper requests a reweigh prior to the delivery date of the shipment. The carrier must inform the shipper, within a reasonable time prior to the gross reweighing, of the tariff charges and the location of a certified scale which will be used. The carrier, without altering or deleting the initial weights, will write on the bill of lading the gross, tare and net weights on reweigh, and must give the shipper, or his representative, original or true copies of the weight tickets on reweigh in the same manner as prescribed for initial weighing. The lower of the two net scale weights must be used for determining the applicable charges. Charges for reweighing will be determined by tariff rates.
