me neither, although i dont know why, but ive never been called into the scales at the truck stops on the interstate, its always been the scales further on that call me in, i wonder if its something im missing or a bug.

Not a bug. The scales at fuel stops are not Weigh Stations. In real life they would be operated to check your own loads to be sure you had your axles in the proper places to distribute the load evenly so you don't get an unexpected ticket when you DO get pulled in to the Weigh Station for inspection.

Are you talking about the scales at pickup/delivery sites? Those can be very difficult because you have to have your trailer on them straight otherwise you will get stuck. They are only there to make your life harder.

I kinda wonder if these are the ones OP is trying to use.

i thought as much, just that in the promo for the game and in some live streams, people have been called into these for inspection, i just wondered what purpose they gave seeing as they have a marker and everything on the map, yet you drive through one and nothing happens,

MHA (MrHeavyAlex) map will sometimes make you stop at the ones at truck stops

You will get called into a Weigh Station but not if you're hauling something relatively light in the box trailers. Flatbeds with heavier cargo will trigger you to get pulled in; sometimes more than once in the same run.

i know hat, ive played the game long enough to know what loads will likely get you called in and which wont and the roads to take that are faster than the interstates and avoid the weigh stations, i was just talking about the ones in the truck stops along with the rest area and fuel station, they dont seem to serve any purpose in game at the moment.

Those scales also mention something about bypassing the weigh stations, well in my game and not sure if that is mod related but thought it might mean something :)

yeah i have that, says its a weigh station bypass yet is classed as a weigh station? makes no logical sense.

Yes, these I get stuck on also but with perseverance I get past them. You have to straighten up to cross them without problems.

it's all a matter of handling. It is the same wit those small Gas stations, you enter them wrong you get stuck. I think we all have been there and done that :)

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Back in 18 Wheels of Steel, you could pull trailers, that were classified as too heavy and you got a fine at weigh stations so you had to drive around them.
Right now, they're just a waste of time, though its realistic.

Does anyone know, what purpose they have in Reallife? Are they checking for smuggled in Mexicans on the scales or what?
