Inspection stations

That's all there is to it, if the lights are flashing you go in.

There's 5 or 6 you'll go by on that route.

 

Rand McNally trucker atlas at the truck stop has them listed.

 

Yup, know ahead of time where they are. If they're open, you gotta take your happy driver butt in! If not, they'll chase you down.... not worth that stress! I'm a US driver, but can't imagine Canada is any different; they get pretty upset when you don't go visit them

 

there is one on Hwy 6, on the west side, just north of Hamilton. ( it is a portable, and almost never open)

There is a big one at Putnam, west of Woodstock.

there is one on the south side of the 402, just before Sarnia

 

I spent five years wearing 'browns'... you have the best training in the world where you are at... listen and do it by the book and you will have a good career there.

 

I know that my Garmin Truck GPS tells me of upcoming Weight Stations 5 miles in advance.

 

Garmin Truck GPS sometimes tells me about a weigh station that is NOT there......

 

Same here... Sometimes the station is on the other side of the highway. But there are a few location where I get a notice and when I get there the weight station is out of service, then it tells me there is another one less than 10 miles ahead but this time there is nothing there at all. I scream at it MAKE UP YOUR MIND!!! Which isn't exactly a thoughtful response when the other team driver is sleeping in the bunks.
