    No logs or scales for a sprinter
    But some companies still limit your hours
    Irunu has said Panther allows max 16 hours

    I would think they have to when the scale says ALL COMMERCIAL VEHICLES MUST EXIT TO SCALE.

    They also are required to cross when they carry hazmat.

    According to Irunu no placarding required for a sprinter
    Unless I miss read what she wrote
    Thousands of commercial vans pass scales every day, not required to stop

    Cargo vans do not do logs. I have hear that in July they will have to do logs but I haven't really heard any thing more. They don't have to Placard because they carry under the load limit to placard. They don't have to go through the scale. I have heard they are supose to go through if it is a common wealth state. I never did and never got busted.
     
    Baack Thanks this.

    If they have markings on them indicating they are commercial vehicles, then when the sign says Commercial Vehicles Must Enter, they are required to enter.

    My dually does not wear signs when it is empty and returning home or back to the terminal. I have seen several other duallies pulled over for bypassing said scales, which also were not wearing signs.

    I guess you are just running lucky.

    We had many commercial vans for deliveries to Chicago marked with company name
    And we never had to stop
    Heck if that was true any pickup with a logo on the side would have to stop
