I95 Weigh Station in Maryland

Let them come and get ya.

I would think they mean All vehicles over 5 ton and pull in if I was that heavy.

Let them explain to me if I am exempt when the sign says ALL VEHICLES.

There is probably an exception for private vehicles, but that is not what the sign says.

Here is a link from AAA: Weigh stations per state

Some state specifically exclude RV's and some do not. Some say all vehicles over a certain weight.
That said, I have to say that I have personally driven through most all of these states and never once did I pull in to a weigh station. That does not mean that I was not required to by law but it may just mean that they did not care to enforce the law at that time. Who knows what they did the next day. Remember, it is all about the money and there may be a time when the states DO enforce their laws and start issuing expensive tickets for failing to stop at a weigh station.

to properly answer your question requires that the answer be a lawyer, Which I am not.

But you do (if you are a citizen of that state) Retain one for this kind of thing.

He is called the Attorney General of the state of _____ (MD in this case) and perhaps you should direct your question his way.

Look at it this way: A sign like that is an invitation to get your actual current weight.

Before they wave you on through, that is, which is the most likely thing to happen to a non-commercial rig.

Living in Maryland I can tell you that sign is for commercial vehicles only. The state is not looking for motorhomes it is looking for overweight commercial vehicles that it can wring every last dollar out of in fines.

Earlier today we were driving on I95 south to our destination in Williamsburg, VA. There is a weigh station on the south bound lane in Maryland right before crossing the Susquehanna River. As we approached the weigh station there was a sign staring, "All vehicles over 5T must enter weigh station". I never see anything other than commercial vehicles at these weigh stations on I95.

Did something change that they really mean ALL Vehicles over 5T?

The State of Washington does not want Non CommercIal on there weigh scales. The exception is if they stop you out on the highway away from there scales.

All scales in the US are called Commercial Scales or DOT which is run by the state and if you are not a CMV you are not required to stop but you can always stop and ask them yourself. Drove big truck for years and none of them want an RV fooling around on the TRUCK scales.

Doubt very seriously ANY RV is over weight for those scales. The DOT is looking for vehicles that are over 20,000lb on the front steering axle, or single axle and 35000lbs on the tandems. The weight watcher has no idea what the max your F150, 250, or 350 is rated to weigh. How could he, as nearly every TV is rated differently.

No, They are only interested in the heavy trucks.
