Does anyone know of a weigh station where I can get my very small towable utility trailer weighed near Brighton?I can't get it plated until I can prove this 350 or so pound trailer weighs less that 2500 pounds.The nearest I found is in Fowlerville.

It has been a few years since I have had to plate one. Is this a homemade trailer?Never mind. I just looked and it is empty weight. If you have a title or is there is payload sticker I would think the GVWR is less than 2,500 lbs so that should prove the empty weight is less than that. I have never actually had to weigh one to get the plate.

Check with area gravel pits and scrap yards.

I-94, Exit 167 there are 3 CAT Scales (one at each truck stop), looks like it's about 20 miles from Brighton.

deerone--Never thought of scrap yards. There are a couple real close by. Not sure if the state will accept their readings, though.

Only ones I am seeing are in Dexter, which based on a map looks a little further away than Fowlerville.

Non titled I assume. If there is a title that is all you should need.

I'd check with another employee, or different licensing location. We have a utility trailer licensed in MI that is about 350 lbs and we didn't have to get it weighed. You are licensing it as a utility trailer, right?

The Fowlerville Feed and Grain on Main and the railroad tracks just north of I-96 in Fowlerville will give a weight ticket. Did my TT there and was very quick.

I would add grain elevators or a laage feed store with a mill usually has scales.
