Theres this small truck weigh station about 2 blocks from my house across the highway. I kinda want to see the weight of my car. I was wondering what the rules and laws are regarding these. Can i just pull up and get my weight or is there more to it then that.

so? what cop in his right mind would waist his time trying to figure out an angle to give you a ticket? like i said b4 ask the attendant if your worried, otherwise you can go to a dump and use there scale, there is a place here in st.paul called vaskos, the way it works is you drive yor car onto this platform and there is a big digital display that show you your weaight then some one asks you what your dumping, just say "sorry i forgot my wallet and leave"
thats what i'd do.

Find a landscaping yard and drive in there. They should have scales for people buying rock and stuff. Drive on, look at the weight, tell the person in the booth, "Thanks! That's all I needed" then drive off.
i haven't found one of those landscaping yards around minneapolis yet... all of them are using measurements of yards now for rock and other items...
If you know of one let me know.. i want to weigh all of my vehicles i think my truck is up to 8500# now... :(

Public scales are for the public. There may be a small $$$ fee, but otherwise pull up, ask the attendant to weight your car.
