I'm wondering because I read that according to the California DOT website about "Who Must Stop at (Truck) Scales?":<br><br>http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/trucks/weigh-stations/stopping.htm<br><br>"DO THESE VEHICLES HAVE TO STOP AT THE SCALES?<br><br>...<br><br><p class="style24" style="margin-top: 0.7em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-left: 0em; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>CARGO VAN</strong> -- It depends on the load and the use. Technically, they are a motor truck according to CVC Section 410 and, therefore, required to stop at the weigh stations.</p><p class="style24" style="margin-top: 0.7em; margin-right: 0em; margin-bottom: 0.9em; margin-left: 0em; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discussion: Yes, technically a cargo van is a motor truck according to CVC Section 410 and, therefore, required to stop at the scales."<br><br><br>I'm wondering if anyone here has any firsthand experience with driving around California in a cargo van and having to or not to stop at the weigh stations.</p>
