1 Tons and weigh station check points

Hey All,

This is a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway! Do those of you with 350/3500 series trucks have to stop at weigh stations when on the interstates such as I-95, even when traveling light with just your truck? When driving I-95 from NY to NC last week I noticed that many weigh stations had signs that said "All Trucks with GVWR's over 10,000lbs must enter".
Don't most 350/3500's have GVWR's in the 11,000lb and up range?
Will you get pulled over if you don't stop? This seems like a major inconvenience to people that aren't commercial haulers but have 1 tons as daily drivers.

Thanks
