Question on Weigh Stations |
|
|
My husband and I are new to this site. We have been traveling around the country for a few months and we have a question that hopefully someone can answer. Are RVs required to pull into weigh stations when open along the interstates? Thanks.

No. At least not in the states we've been to, and that includes PA.  |

No. Not in California, Oregon, and Washington. Although there are always exceptions.

| We have driven our 37' diesel pusher all over the US, almost every state, and have never stopped at a weigh station, and don't see others stopping. |

Never had to stop at any weigh station. Probably a good thing we don't have to as most would probably be fined for being overweight as the article in this week's RV Travel states.

I'll Weigh in with My Thoughts! |

I understand only commercial vehicles are supposed to pull over at weigh stations. Kind of makes you wonder if RVers doing business on the road/rallies should be pulling over.
I've pulled over to some closed weigh stations and weighed the rig as some of the places leave the scales/readouts on. Jockeying back and forth, you can weigh each side and front and back, getting a good idea of how overweight you are.... |

As far as I know, in many states it is not necessary such as California, Oregon and Pennsylvania, but there are some states where you have to do it.

We have traveled Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma,
Kansas, and Missouri and never been required to stop.
