Truck scale

I suppose I've got a real solid harvest date that I can go, right, we've just sown most of our winter crop.

And I know next July, August, September, every trailer load's going to go over the Weybridge and I'm going to know exactly how many tons a hectare i've produced yep yeah i love that kind of thing and you're coming in at the end of the day and you see a big pile of grain and that's your year's work and you've been you're kind of doing your long-term thing which is your rotation and your soil sampling getting all that kind of stuff right and that's paying off over 10 15 years but you're also doing all the short-term stuff that also affects it yeah so and there's also there's like well we've got five different crops in our rotation which is good fun as well

so it's just like first week second week Do they count as two different crops? I wouldn't say so, no.

So wheat and then winter barley.

Perhaps I was a believer of that until I saw it.

Truckie fights eight hundred dollar weighbridge fine after reporting her own mistake.

I, I felt it failed the pub test.

Um, just before you go, Belinda Hughes from Hughes Law, I saw a headline and I thought, "Oh, this'll be an interesting story for Belinda Hughes", and then she writes back and says, "Yes, Luke, that's my client.

Read the whole story" and I felt like an idiot.

Um, truckie fights $800 weighbridge fine after reporting her own mistake.

Belinda Hughes, tell me about Kylie Robinson.

PLs those days was family.

The Weighbridge at PLs was like a, you know, was like a private club-

Yeah

... you know, with Metwest and Port.

And so it's hard to get a message out there.

And so when you were talking about the Weybridge, I'm thinking, oh, I remember we put a press release out about that.

But if you're not in a place where you end up reading press releases.

Well, and it was a while ago, right? Because the last time you went to that was ages ago.

Yep.

Um, and on one side of the Weybridge is like the Weybridge house where the Weybridge operator is in on the other side of the Weybridge is a post with like three or four security cameras on it.

Those security cameras obviously need a cable that runs to them.

Just a ethernet cable.

Anyway, when this person started working there a couple of years ago, that cable would go from the Weybridge to the pole over overhead.

What happens, though, is the trucks, they fucking leave after they're dumping and they forget to bring the back of their truck down.

Oh, yeah.
