Where to weigh your Travel trailer
Does anyone know where to bring a travel trailer to be weighed?. I was told the trucker CAT scales are not the place to get the accurate weight for my RV. Thanks!

If you go to a CAT scale, be sure to bring a broom handle (or long stick) to push the attendant call button. It's up high so trucks can reach it through an open window and too high to reach from the ground. It will save you an extra walk inside the station. It would be best for you to view their online video on how to weigh your rig. You can find it HERE
Every CAT scale I've ever been to has an upper and lower call button. Never had an issue. I just open the truck door, push the button, then sit back down in the truck.
Interesting, I've NEVER seen a lower call button in the dozen or so trips to CAT Scales I've gone to.
I just stand on the truck's running board at the driver's door and can reach.
For others, the other options are to go inside and ask for the phone # of the weigh desk. You can call from your cell phone when you're on the pad. OR there's a CAT Scale app that you can use.
