My Eagle 05 says 16,500 on the title,but "I WONDER"....isn't there a truck stop near you...usually the tag office requires a stamped ticket....used to be 5.00 at any "cat" scales, just for future reference,pull your steer tires on,then,when you get a green light,pull up till your boagies are on ,at the green light ,then pull your drivers on...this way ,ya' know how much weight is on each axel,and, the total weight,it's sure worth the money to find out how things are distributed.... |

There was some discussion over the accuracy of the truck stop scales a while back. It was stated that they may appear to show over the actual weight. This was assumed to safe guard themselves from the fines that could be levied by the Federalies for the truck being overweight as they are apparently liable once the truck has weighed on their scales.
Maybe the scales at the County Yard or local landfill would be better? I used the landfill scales to weigh mine and they asked for a donation to the candy jar..... LOL.

All public scales in this part of the country have to be licensed and certified to be accurate. There are independent scale testing companies plus the state comes along periodically and tests the scales and checks the weight ticket copies to make sure all rules are being followed.

Up here in SW Oregon we have scales at the bottom of Hayes Hill SW of Grants Pass. They are free.
I weighed each end of each axle and came up with figures within 10 pounds of being accurate. This way...
...I can calculate the eventual weight on each axle end as well as each axle and the total weight. Good luck. |

Geoff is correct. Public scales must be licensed and periodically certified. However, the CAT scales at the truck stop on I-5 near Redding weighed my mini p/u at 500# more than 3 other public scales that it has been on, including 2 different County operated scales, all 3 which were within 20# of each other. So I have to wonder myself about the CAT scales at truck stops. Since so many states require unladen weight for registration, makes u wonder why manufacturers are not required to put it on the body tag, as sold originally. |

In Washington state, the new truck scales at the weigh stations are left on for public use when the station is closed. Just drive onto the pad, see the weight on the digital display above your lane, and drive off. |
