scales on I-35 MN just north of where 35E and 35W merge

I passed these scales a few times. There is no building on either the northbound or southbound side, and also no sign to say whether it is open or closed. The scales are not marked on the 2015 motor carrier road atlas either.

One time I passed them without going in, and there was a state trooper parked there, and I thought oh sh--. But he just sat there and didn't chase me down.

This site says "This is a pullout check station- no permanent building."

Does anyone ever get weighed there?

 

You'll know if they've set up a temporary scale(if not a permanent one that's just never open), they'll have plenty of signage just past the last exit you can use to avoid it...

 

Lot of guys blowing scales today on the forums.

 

There long ago non active, dot use them as inspection sites for pull overs, or staging for roadworks equip, some guys crash for the night. Once in 10 years i saw a temp sign for lights and brake check. But they havent done that in so long i dont think they do it anymore.

 

arnt those those the old burnsville scales ?

 

Nope there talking about the ones just south of forrest lake, up by blaine lino lakes hugo area

 

ah what was i thinkin ! and shoulda known ..spent a little time at lino lol.

 

The scales at Lakeville are gone, the nb one is now a parking ramp for people who park the car there and ride the bus to downtown and the sb side is just a lot now. No exit or entrance on the sb side.

 

Once I called my dispatcher to report I'd blown a trlr tire. His reaction? "Wow, your lips must be sore"
