Weigh Station Protocol

Once you get within a half- to quarter-mile of the station, signs will indicate whether it’s open or closed.
When you come to an open weigh station, get in the right lane and in line for the scale.
Some weigh stations will also note whether they have PrePass service, which will let you speed up the process significantly if equipped.

Stay off the cell phone even if you have a “Hands-Free” device.
All your attention needs to be directed towards the weigh and inspection station.
Follow the speed limits set forth at the station.
If you accidentally pass up the entrance to the station, do NOT pull over to the shoulder and back up to the entrance.
You have already incurred a violation by passing the scale.
Keep going, and hope that enforcement does not come after you.
It is extremely dangerous to back up on the roadway.
