Drive in and you'll see a weigh scale and an entrance booth where traffic is staged before unloading; because fees are weight-based, most vehicles get weighed either on the way in or on the way out. Heavy equipment and big trucks are constantly moving material, so follow the flow of traffic and watch for loaders.

Weekends and spring-cleanup periods tend to back up the line, so allow extra time if heading there then.
