I don't drive over the scales when I'm hauling with my pick up. I stopped once about 30 years ago and went in the office to see if they cared whether I stopped or not. I was told they are interested in our little trucks.
Things are different in every state/region so you can't really apply what happens in your region to everywhere else. In Texas, if you have a commercial DOT number on your door, you have to stop.
Here are the laws in other regions and states.

I am not sure how accurate this is. Or is this for personal vehicles? Here is what they say about Mighigan:
"MICHIGAN
The following vehicles must stop: (1) vehicles with dual rear wheels transporting agricultural products; (2) trucks over 10,000 lbs. with dual rear wheels and/or towing construction equipment; (3) all tractor/semitrailer combination vehicles."
Because the company I am working at stop in srw one tons with DOT numbers not towing.
Some US States have found that the little trucks with trailers are far more profitable than the big ones. This is something that all depends where you are. Western Canada is lax about it. So are many of the western flatland states. MN will chase down commercial looking pickups that don’t stop at scales. I know for certain!
Now in the scope of this bulletin board, RV pulling pickups are not bothered anywhere, unless there is a transporter plate on the trailer.
