Truck Scales Experience October 21, 2017, 06:01:01 pm I remember reading that some folks stopped along the road at truck weigh stations. So several days ago I saw an empty weigh station and pulled into it. Asked if they'd weigh us. They said sure and I pulled onto the scale. LD had 1/2 tank of water and 1/4 tank for gray and black. We had supplies for a week. Subaru had full tank and some supplies. We weighed at 16,420 pounds. The people running the station seemed to enjoy our visit and request. Btw, no charge. 4 Likes
Re: Truck Scales Experience Reply #1 – October 21, 2017, 09:40:33 pm That’s cool. What state? We have weighed on closed scales in WA and I have heard of people in OR doing so too.

Re: Truck Scales Experience Reply #5 – October 23, 2017, 05:24:53 pm Another place where you can sometimes weigh for free (as long as you don't require a weight certificate) are feed and grain stores. I got my old LD weighed years ago at the Templeton Feed & Grain in Templeton, CA. They were very accomodating.https://www.facebook.com/TempletonFeedGrain/ 2 Likes

Re: Truck Scales Experience Reply #7 – October 23, 2017, 11:11:15 pm I have had my camper, fifth wheel, and Lazy Daze weighed at the local moving company in our town. They all have a truck scale and they will weigh you for $10 if you need a weight tag. I tell them I just want to know what it weighs and there is typically no charge. I tip the person who records my weight, usually $5 and we are all happy.HD 2 Likes
