JGLfan,
Most industries with truck scales required a window, signal, loudspeaker or the use of CB radio to keep the driver informed of the need to move off the scale. Generally, they scale the load and the driver pulls off the scale and parks just past, either right in front or in a parking area and they go inside to sign for the BOL. Just about every truck scale I have ever seen has a short grade up to, and down from the scale. The scale surface itself is supposed to be level, as an accurate weight can not be achieved with the brakes applied.
I don't know if that is at all helpful to you.
