Check your scale tickets

Am I the only one finding a weight discrepancy from The Andersons ethanol plant in Albion, MI? Not corn, but DDG. For those that have never been there, they somehow weigh the DDG as it's being loaded without the truck ever touching a scale. The only other place I've loaded that does it this way is the E-plant in South Bend. When I get to destinations in Joliet, IL that actually scale the truck, the net delivered weight on my ticket has been off as much as 600 pounds vs the origin. Just this week alone I hauled 2 loads with a total difference of over 1,100 pounds more than the origin weight ticket. This becomes a problem when some brokers only pay origin weight. I have contacted The Andersons directly to address the issue, the response I got was to use their scale at the plant and compare it to the dispensed weight ticket from the DDG loader, if there is a weight difference then let someone know.
