    Actually.... they’re lonely. Even the Antelope avoid them.

    Oil Field trucks run those weigh stations constantly. If they didn’t. They’d be busted.

    "Q. Do I have to stop at all ports in the State of Wyoming?

    A. You are required to stop anytime you see a regulatory sign (black letters on a white background) instructing you to stop, or an officer has directed you to stop. Pre-pass vehicles which receive an in-cab green light may continue, providing they are not hauling livestock or do not have an oversize or overweight load. Example of POE signage:

    • All commercial Vehicles
    • Transport operators
    • Livestock haulers, and
    • Deliveries into Wyoming
    *All must stop at the Port of Entry."

    That's an abuse of authority. How many times are you "entering" the state with that load?

    Just an update.

    I stopped at the POE in Casper WY today with an oversized load (14.5 tall) i had already stopped in Sheridan WY for permit.
    I went across the scale and then went in with paperwork.
    The officer said I was not directed on the permit to stop there.
    Then he told me that only white signs with black lettering you are required to stop at .

    Green signs with white letters you are not required to stop.

    I find it a waste of time when heading South to North and having to stop in the port - get there and it’s closed.

    Now I usually just roll of through.

    There is one at Laramie as well. Green sign, by the way.

    I have never diverted off the main highway for either of them. And it has never been a problem.

    But that states that you must stop only if delivering goods in WY.
    If you are just passing through, there is no need to pull in.
     
    86scotty and TokyoJoe Thank this.

    Every time I go into the Gillette scale I'm the only truck in there. I know I'm not the only truck passing through town. As for Casper, the only time I go through is if I'm going to or from Rawlins which isn't very often.

    You do not have to stop at the Gillette scale if just on the interstate. You go in Gillette if coming up or down 59 or 50. As for Casper, no need to stop if going to or from Rawlins. The key to Wyoming is that you only have to stop if you see a white sign that says commercial vehicles must stop. The green sign is only informational.

    This is copied from the Wyoming port of entry FAQ's:
