Stop at truck scales?
If I am towing my car hauler with my sons truck on it do I have to stop at truck scales? Seems I remember a sign that said something like towed vehicles, new vehicles, or something like that need to stop?????

It depends on local laws.
In Virginia, if you're towing a trailer with your personal vehicle (not for hire) and you're not obviously exceeding weight restrictions, you don't need to stop at the scales.

I wouldn't stop, private vehicle not hauling commercially but that's just me
hauled my son's truck from Kansas to Ft. Benning and didn't even look back
be polite and plead ignorance if you're stopped

Be careful on that little stretch of I-15 through AZ... as they really like to stop anyone and everyone. I took my own enclosed race car trailer down with my car inside...got stopped and fined for not having conspicuity tape on the trailer. This 'gal' tried to find something wrong and took up 3 hrs of my time.
this was several years ago but I have heard that that revenue stretch is still busy. Just a heads up. Maybe check AZ laws...if that is the way you are going. I think theres a way on 93 or is it 95?

I beleive it has to do with the width of the vehicle, and places where there arent lights and its hard to see where exactly the vehicle is at. As in on an ICC bumper of a van trl for example

the tape is DOT required on all trailers every so many feet.
DO NOT attempt to pull that trailer over the d am, you will get a ticket and be told to turn around.

Drove right by in the dark and nothing happend! No dam between Vegas and SLC and I have seen all kinds of trucks and trailers going over Hoover dam over the years and no tickets and didn't have to turn around just have trailer inspected in the right lane.
