The scales at the broadmoar truck stops charge, but like mentioned before you can re-weigh AND they are certified accurate. ( plus you get a trading card that you can put on the front wheel of your bike) Some self weighs don't see much for maintenance you roll onto the pad and there is 4" of ice build up on it, or before you roll onto the pad it's already registering a couple hundred kg's.
Acheson, you need friggin binoculars to see the display screen from the pad, I think my phone screen is bigger than that display screen

Oh and...

Q - If my vehicle exceeds the GVWR and it becomes involved in an accident, will this affect my insurance coverage?

A - Your insurance coverage will not be affected. However, if the overweight problem contributed to the accident you could be found partially or totally responsible for the accident. This could result in an increase to your future premiums. If your vehicle's optional coverage has been purchased from a private insurer, you should check to find out the policies of that insurer in terms of coverage. Police may also ticket you for operating an overweight vehicle.

most scales have a button to zero it. Or you can just do the basic math and subtract what the original weight with nothing on the scale was from your total.

I believe it would be all in the drivers insurance policy "wording" to whether or not they are covered.

where do you guys weigh your rigs? im in sherwood park i notice one at flying J but looks like you might have to have a membership or something didnt really check it out. i also know of one on highway 16 after edson but it also says for commercial use only. i dont mind paying but is there any others close to edmonton/sherwood park.

I use the one before Edson heading west. No issues. I wouldn't pull in if the lights are flashing tho! Lol
