Truck Drivers:

After loading, please proceed to the scale. If you want axle weights, call on CB Channel 16 and then start with your steer axle on the scale first. Proceed with the drive axles next and then the last weight will be the entire truck. After weighing, pull off of the scale and then come inside to the shipping office for your paperwork and a copy of your scale ticket. You will be allowed one free re-weigh.

Please keep additional axle weighings to a minimum. There are public scales one mile away if additional weighing is necessary.

Our scale is certified by the State of Idaho Bureau of Weights & Measures on an annual basis. A copy of the most recent certification may be viewed in the shipping office. Please note that while our scale is accurate there are NO GUARANTEES made as to Department of Transportation requirements for axle weight limitations, including fines. Please alert shipping personnel if you have bridge law restrictions or other limitations on your load. We will charge a reload fee if we are not informed ahead of time of any loading restrictions (bridge law, fixed axles, tandems, or 5th wheel) that you may require.

Please do not slide fifth wheel or tandems while on scale.
