State Scales
Are those who pull 5th wheels and basically any camper exempt from state scales?

I have seen signs in more than one state that said, ALL vehicles over xxxx# MUST stop. There is at least one western state that "by law" requires every motorhome towing a toad, to stop for inspection. Are these requirements enforced, sometimes they are and if you are the one that made the decision to bypass, after reading the sign, then I hope you have deep pockets.
Private vehicles are never required to stop at DOT scales.
READ the sign as you approach the scales or inspection area and follow the instructions.
