I am new to hazmat and dont want to screw up! what states require you to enter weigh station when hauling hazmat and does that mean just roll across the scale or park and go inside with your paperwork?

Roll across. If they want you. You’ll know.
Arizona and Arkansas, with Ohio and West Virginia gotta roll across.
you can get a Ohio alliance agreement ru bypass with hazmat load.Twf3 Thanks this. -
Here's the list I came up with reading both Drivewyze and Prepass lists. ID is showing conflicting info so I put it in the list. These states say ignore the in-cab electronic signal and enter scales regardless of in-cab or road sign indicating Bypass. AZ, AR (Fuel transport),ID, ME, PA, VT, MD, WI
Enter weigh station, cross scales, follow the Park/Exit sign.
If in doubt, enter scales. I think AZ fine was $600 for bypassing.

In my opinion and what i did whem i did hazmat. Unless the sign says closed. As a rule you wont be yelled at for entering and if they want to see your papers they will tell you. If you dont enter is when issues pop up. So as long as your equipment is right and tight, your legal, and everything is correctly marked. you should never worry about going through one.
tscottme, hope not dumb twucker, lual and 2 others Thank this. -
Hmm, I always thought you had to enter a scale with placarded Haz-Mat, open or closed. It's why I always went around them

tscottme and hope not dumb twucker Thank this.
