Roadside & Legal · Driver Training VideoWeigh Stations & Bypass (PrePass)
An open weigh station is a mandatory stop, and a driver can be under 80,000 pounds gross and still be written up for axle weights. Drivers learn what the scale checks, how PrePass and Drivewyze bypass works, and its limits.

Treat every open weigh station as a mandatory stop. That's state law, and the details vary by state, but our rule is simple.
Here's what the scale is actually checking. First, weight. Your gross vehicle weight tops out at 80,000 pounds on most interstates. But gross isn't the only number that matters — axle weight is. A single axle is capped at 20,000 pounds, a tandem axle group at 34,000.
Second, they're checking you and the truck. Your logbook — paper or ELD — your CDL, your medical card, and the mechanical condition of the rig: brakes, tires, lights, coupling.
Now, bypass systems — PrePass, Drivewyze, the transponder in your cab. These read your safety score and your credentials electronically as you approach, and if you qualify, you get a green light and roll on by at speed.
Your company standard: keep your logs current before you ever see the scale, not after. Walk your own pre-trip like an inspector would — because one's about to. If a scale is open, you stop, full stop.
