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.
