§ 12710 Deputy Weighmaster Responsibility

• •A weighmaster can pick someone to help them with their job.
• •The weighmaster is responsible for everything their helper does.
• •If the helper makes a mistake, the weighmaster is in trouble, not just the helper.

A weighmaster at a truck scale hires their friend to help weigh trucks.

If the friend lets a truck go without checking its weight right, the weighmaster gets in trouble, not just the friend.
