Required how? Did you get a ticket?

I've triggered "Enter Scales" signs on various interstates when crossing the
weigh-in-motion pre-checks. I've always ignored them, and plan to continue to do
so.

There is nothing in the Maryland Motor Carrier Handbook to indicate that their
rules differ from any other state.

Don,
No I did not get a ticket... Their signage said all vehicles over a certain
weight, can't remember the amount, it was considerable less than my BB, is
required to go on the scales... I think that would mean us in the BB's, also...

Bob,
If it means only commercial vehicles, then it should state that, and not all
vehicles...

As Bob notes, that is for commercial vehicles only. There is not a state in the
union that expects a motor home, regardless of weight, to cross the scales. They
probably won't say anything if you do, unless they are backed up - then the
truckers might be a bit peeved at you for slowing them down.

The reason I asked about the ticket was because you said "if you are overweight"
and I didn't realize that you meant over some listed value on a sign.

For the record, I've done what you did once - I crossed the scales on entering
British Columbia because the wording wasn't clear and I didn't want to risk it -
I've since learned that they don't want you to there, either.

Don Bradner

The sign you are talking about is found here in the Maryland Sign book:

http://www.sha.state.md.us/businesswiths...licat\
ionsonline/oots/pdf/R13-1(1).pdf

If that wraps, use this: http://tinyurl.com/367kks

A lot of states are like that, and many use 5 tons, but most say over 10,000
lbs. Look in the lower right for what the sign is called.

Don you can use the British Columbia scales when they are closed. They leave
them operational on any days they aren't in official use.

I do that in Oregon routinely to check weights, but the scale in question was
open - the weighmaster gave me a funny look, but gave me a green light.

Don Bradner
90 PT40 "Blue Thunder"
Eureka, CA

Gregory OConnor

In California the Scale Patrolman look for weight on every axle and
total weight. Then they look for a white sticker on the passanger
side of the windshield. This year is a 7 and this quarter is cut top
right. on the passanger door is a two digit number which gives
registration max weight of trunk and trailer, 54,000 lbs cost about
$2,700. per the year. Below the weight limit number is a CA number
which is the same for every truck in your fleet. They scan the ca
number to check your medical record (two year physical), insurance
compliance, and your drug/Alchol screening compliance. I get pulled
over every quarter for a complete inspection.

The only place I can see the CHP making a stink about weight is
bridge crossing. Roadway limits on signs like in residential areas
is set up to keep comercial traffic out of children-friendly
neighborhoods.

Don,
All well and good... It does not say that on the road, so I would take that as
ALL vehicles regardless whether a truck, bus or RV...

The sign you are talking about is found here in the Maryland Sign
book:



http://www.sha. state.md. us/businesswiths ha/bizStdsSpecs/ desManualStdPub/
publicationsonli ne/oots/pdf/ R13-1(1).pdf



If that wraps, use this: http://tinyurl. com/367kks



A lot of states are like that, and many use 5 tons, but most say over 10,000
lbs. Look in the lower right for what the sign is called.
