weigh stations
Highway weight checkpoints
Weigh stations are roadside checkpoints where commercial trucks must stop to have their weight verified.
States operate them to enforce load limits that protect roads from damage and ensure vehicle safety.
Drivers may see signs requiring trucks to pull off at upcoming weigh stations, though some now use bypass systems that weigh vehicles in motion: The trucker pulled into the weigh station on I-95.
