    So I've been driving a side loader for a local beer company for 6 months and heard a guy in the warehouse talking about stopping at weigh stations?

    I was never told I needed to stop at one and have never done so. I never leave the state I'm in (dont know if it matters?) and I've never been stopped for skipping. More gas the dot pulled me over randomly.


    i pass a big station every other day. Question is, do I need to stop?

    well since you are driving a commercial vehicle you should definitely consider stopping at the scale...if it is open that is...

    Just got off the phone with another driver that works with me (he's been driving for a good while) he said if you have the dot sticker on your door you stop. And I'm lucky lol

    Yes any commercial vehicle much go in if they are open unless you are lucky enough to have a prepass and get a green light

    Eh that's not worth asking where you run lol. Don't get me wrong miller's my beer when I decide to drink beer. But its not like you're hauling 400 cases of jack Daniels.

    Free beer can get you out of anything. :)

    The green and white book is something you just own. You don't actually have to read it?? :)
