(b) Exceptions. The rule in subsection (a) does not apply to solid fuel when any of the following occur:
(1) The weighing takes place at the point of delivery or sale.
(2) The producer of the solid fuel furnishes proof, satisfactory to the Department or to an inspector of weights and measures, that the solid fuel being transported comes from the producer's own mine, is the producer's own property and is being transported for purposes other than sale.
(3) The sale transaction entails the sale of a boatload or railroad carload of solid fuel delivered directly from the boat or car to a purchaser and accepted as to weight by the purchaser on the bill of lading or other voucher issued by the carrier.
(c) Rule for lots of 100 pounds or less. A person may not sell, transport over a public highway, deliver or cause to be delivered or start out to deliver a solid fuel in a lot or lots in amounts of 100 pounds or less unless each lot is in a separate compartment of the vehicle or vehicle and trailer and each lot is accompanied by a weighmaster's certificate. These requirements need not be met if the solid fuel is in closed containers or closed bags and the following information is plainly printed on the container or bag or on a tag securely attached to the container or bag:
(1) The net contents of the container or bag (expressed in avoirdupois pounds).
(2) The type of solid fuel.
(3) The name, address, city, state and zip code of the seller.
§ 9.22. Sales by employer-producer to employes.
(a) Sales generally. If it is specified under a contract, an employer-producer of solid fuel may sell solid fuel at cost, by cubic contents instead of weight, to its employes for their own use and consumption.

(a) Authorization to haul without weighmaster's certificate.
(1) The Department will issue an authorization allowing a person to haul solid fuel on the public highways for a distance of up to 10 miles from the point of origin of the solid fuel without a weighmaster's certificate if all of the following occur:
(i) There are no scales at the point of origin of the solid fuel, or the scales are inadequate, inaccurate or otherwise incapable of providing the accurate readings necessary for the production of a weighmaster's certificate.
(ii) The solid fuel has been loaded into a vehicle by the producer of the solid fuel.
(iii) The sale of the solid fuel has not been consumated and the delivery of the solid fuel to the consumer has not yet begun.
(iv) There are adequate scales to weigh the solid fuel within 10 miles of the point of origin of the solid fuel.
(2) If the Department issues the authorization described in this subsection, the person to whom it is issued shall haul the solid fuel to the nearest available scale of a licensed public weighmaster, but no more than 10 miles from the point of origin of the solid fuel. At this scale, the weight of the solid fuel shall be determined so that the producer of the solid fuel is able to consumate its sale. The trucker will be furnished with a weighmaster's certificate for the solid fuel before departure of the solid fuel from the scale for delivery to the consumer.

(2) The net weight of the solid fuel being loaded in the vehicle shall be determined at the time of loading by determining the gross weight of the loaded mine cars or buggies and deducting the tare weight of the mine cars or buggies.
(3) The gross weight shall be determined by adding the tare weight and the net weight.
§ 9.28. Reweighing and issuance of certificates.
(a) Conditions of reweighing. A licensed weighmaster may not reweigh or issue a weighmaster's certificate for solid fuel unless the motor vehicle operator has surrendered the original and duplicate weighmaster's certificates in his possession pertaining to the solid fuel.
