      Going to 28,000 lbs. I would think this would have to have been from one of those drive-on platform scales for cars and small trucks. Back in the 1920s a pick-up truck weighed under 2000 lbs. By the '40s they had only added 1000 lbs. I haven't found a weight for a larger truck, like a dumper, in that age.

      You may be right Uncle Ron, sounds plausible anyway.
      I'll reword the post...
