A reweigh for $5.00 may be charged, after the first weigh, if all of the following are true:

1. Same vehicle (tractor and trailer),
2. Full price ticket is presented by the customer and its number is recorded on the reweigh ticket,
3. Reweigh must be from the same scale as the full priced ticket,
4. Reweigh must be within 24 hours of the full priced ticket.

We know there are times when it is difficult to get a load legal, after paying for a full price weigh ($14.75) and two reweighs (for a charge of $24.75), the on duty manager may elect to void all further reweighs until you are legal. The reweigh that shows you legal will be the last one you will have to pay for. The total charge in this case would be $29.75.

Yes, CAT Scales are certified and can be used to obtain weight to comply with the SOLAS requirement. In order to obtain the weight of the container, you will first need to determine the tare weight of your tractor trailer (prior to being loaded with the container).  Weigh again once you are loaded. The difference in the gross weight is the weight of the container. Click here for more information.

You can weigh at any of our CAT Scale weigh stations and no appointment is necessary. Simply show up and pull onto the scale. Have your vehicle split between scale 1 and scale 2. Scale one is the closest to the intercom sign. To start the weigh when you are on the scale push the button on the intercom sign and a cashier will get your information. At this point you can pull off the scale and go inside to get your ticket.
