Default weight stations

I am a professional truck driver and there is only one answer to your question....You only have to cross a set of DOT scales if your vehicle has a declared weight limit of 26,000 or more....You get this number from the license plate or registration...or if the truck is has air brakes.(most rental trucks do not) If you are 26,000 or more then you need to cross every scale (loaded or empty). You will also need truck permits for each state you drive in..Provided by the rental company....
