Where can I weigh my skoolie motorhome?

Commercial Gas Stations

Some gas stations that cater to big trucks like Flying Js offer scales so big rigs can check their weigh on each axle. You simply pull up, make sure your front and back tires are on the scales and basically push the call button. They may also ask for a bus or rig number, so make one up if you don’t have one! We use our old bus number (415) for fun. After that, you pull off the scales and park, then go inside to pay. 

Interstate Weigh Stations

There are department of transportation (DOT) weigh stations on the side of the interstates. These are designed for truckers going through. We were told not to mess with those because they are for commercial use and not really for personal use; however, they are readily available.

CAT Scale

CAT Scale is a business specializing in scales for weighing commercial vehicles and there are over 2,075 available in the USA. CAT Scale stands for Commercial Automated Truck Scale, and they are the top professional weigh scale in the country.
