weighing rig

Hello,
Anyone know of a place around Metro Detroit that I can get my motorhome weighed at? Thanks for the help.

  • check your phone book for a moving company in your area. They usually have a scale to weigh their loads and are not to expensive.
  • Use to be all kinds of places around Detroit to weight, but anymore I don't have the foggiest.
  • Pilot Travel Center
    (I-94 Exit 167)
    750 Baker Road
    Dexter, MI 48130

    They've a CAT weigh scale. Was there 3 weeks ago. Easy on/off Freeway. There is also a Blue Beacon truck wash across the street. $40 they will pressure wash your MH for you while you wait.

    If you need gas, get weighed first then pull around to the big rig pumps.
  • Matt,

    Look for any truckstop that says SCALE. Most have them.
    You don't say where you are, but the Detroiter on I-75 at West Road (Exit 32) is easy to get to. There is another in Romulus just west of DTW. Or find a scrap yard, they weight everything in and out.

    Remember to set the conditions before you weigh. Is fuel and water full and black empty? How much of the normal traveling stuff do you have on board? An acquaintance was having tire problems. He had weight the trailer when he got it. The he put on 200 pounds of water and his wife loaded 300 in canned goods.
