1. A weigh scale, comprising
a base for placement on a surface;
at least one first load cell, the at least one first load cell being elongated and having a long axis, a short axis, and a top surface, the at least one first load cell being fixedly coupled to the base;
at least one second load cell, the at least one second load cell being elongated and having a long axis, a short axis, and a top surface, the at least one second load cell being fixedly coupled to the base;
a first platform contacting the top surface of the at least one first load cell, the first platform being fixedly coupled to the at least one first load cell, the first platform being adapted to receive a load from a first wheel of a vehicle;
a second platform contacting the top surface of the at least one second load cell, the second platform being fixedly coupled to the at least one second load cell, the second platform being adapted to receive a load from a second wheel of a vehicle;
wherein the base has a planar top surface; and
wherein the base planar top has at least two first recesses aligned with each other below the at least one first load cell, and wherein the planar top has at least two second recesses aligned with each other below the at least one second load cell.
