Does a u-haul truck have to stop at weight stations?

It depends on the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the U-Haul truck. If the GVWR is 10,001 pounds or greater, the truck must stop at all weight stations. If the GVWR is less than 10,001 pounds, the truck is not required to stop at weight stations.

Here are some additional details about weight station regulations for U-Haul trucks:

* In some states, trucks with a GVWR of 26,001 pounds or greater must stop at all weight stations, regardless of the type of cargo they are carrying.

* Some states exempt U-Haul trucks from weight station requirements if they are being used for personal moves.

* It is always best to check with the state's Department of Transportation for the specific weight station regulations that apply to U-Haul trucks.

If you are driving a U-Haul truck with a GVWR of 10,001 pounds or greater, you must be prepared to stop at weight stations. You should have your driver's license, registration, and weight ticket ready to present to the weigh station attendant. You may also be required to unhitch your trailer and pull it onto the scale for weighing.
