So I was thinking about the time I drove through SD and all the scale houses said 8000lbs or more GVW must scale. Now obviously with a 3500 with a GWVR of 9k and some change is supposed to go in, but do any of you actually do it? cause I blew past them and nothing happened but now I'm thinking that was dumb I should have went through. Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on this, also are there any other states with less than 10k for scales?
South Dakota scale houses 8000gwv must enter, do sprinters scale?

Because of Ovm's advice on I-29 scales ... i always drive in ... everytime except once less than a month ago i have been Green Arrowed out in my Van ... but was stopped on scales to weigh ... no problem ... leaving exit ramp within 2 miles a pickup pulling an empty flatbed trailer was stopped by tropper ... another 1/2 mile a Yellow cube was also pulled over by another trooper .... so i will continue follow the green arrows
hauling freight from a Pond near you
Thanks, good advice, now do you know if there are any other states that have scale houses for less than 10k?
being a resident...they set 8,000 as a limit mostly for the combination pickups and trailers......ranchers use them to haul livestock and feed.....their weight can be an issue......and at 8,000 they have the option of a pullover at the discretion of officer...so keep on trekking...
