I wouldn't worry too much about it. If a trucker is doing that stuff the farm community finds out about it fast. Someone drives in the trucker's yard and sees multiple skid loader tracks going to where the truck is parked. Or there are truck tracks goiing to an auger that's on a bin. There's all kinds of ways the local farmers can find out about someone else's shenegans.
I've done a fair amount of trucking from one elevator to another, being weighed before I leave the one and weighed when I get to the other. There can easily be a 300-400 pound difference one way or the other between scales. Even if the truck was weighed at the farm and then at the elevator it'd be hard to prove theft unless there was a 1000 pound or more difference. I've sometimes had to dump a little to get down to a legal weight and opening the trap just a couple of inches can relieve the truck of 3000 pounds in a few seconds. Jim
