Truck Weigh Station in Denver, Colorado

A truck scale is a large set of scales that is used to weigh entire road vehicles and their contents. They are usually permanently mounted to a concrete base. By measuring the weight placed on each axle of the truck, as well as its overall weight, the scale can determine whether the vehicle falls within legal limits for safe travel.

Truck scales are used frequently by those moving large quantities of items, or items which are particularly heavy. This is done to accurately see the maximum weight of the truck and how much it can hold. Metro Moving & Storage offers a truck stop with a weight station in Littleton, Colorado, serving Greater Denver. We offer this to protect you and your belongings when on the road.

Do Trucks Have to Stop at Every Weigh Station?

Each state has different laws and requirements regarding the operation of large motor vehicles. Some states require any motor vehicle, not just commercial ones, to pass through weigh stations while driving in that state. Here is the law in Colorado regarding weigh stations according to AAA:

“Every owner or operator of a motor vehicle having a manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating of over 26,000 lbs. shall secure a valid clearance from an office of the DOR, from an officer of the Colorado State Patrol, or from a port of entry weigh station before operating such vehicle or combination of vehicles in the state.”

As you can see, truck drivers should be aware of all corresponding state laws when driving through the state of Colorado, as well as all other states.

Regardless of whether you foresee your RV, boat or truck falling into this category, we believe it is better to be safe than sorry. The right knowledge of equipment safety needs to be shown by every employee who handles a company vehicle. Having an overloaded vehicle or a vehicle that is too heavy can result in heavy fines, as can failing to pass through a weigh station.

Thank you to Metro Moving and Storage for a seamless and professional moving experience! The 4 guys moved all our big heavy pieces including an upright piano (!), a treadmill, a couple of heavy desks, recliners and a large snowblower among others. We were scheduled for 8 hours but the guys completed the entire move in 3! Kudos and many thanks. Highly recommend them.read more

What a wonderful experience! Charles did our estimate and was great at explaining our options for moving and the cost of each option. I had difficulty reaching the company when trying to revise the estimate but when I got through they were wonderful. Tor moved us to our new apartment and was great. Made sure not to hit any walls with the furniture like other movers had done (the last movers we had to patch our walls because of holes). We were downsizing so our furniture had to go into 2 trucks and they made sure that the boxes were in the right trucks. Excellent service!!!read more

Great experience. Chris and CJ arrived early, introduced themselves and got right to work.The scope was bigger than any of us anticipated.They were gracious and worked tirelessly throughout a long day. We had a lot of heavy items in our basement, which they managed flawlessly. Chris and C.J. were careful with our possessions, and careful not to ding walls.I would hire them again without hesitation, and have already recommended Metro Moving and Storage to friends planning a move.read more

These are the guys I will use for my next move. With all the horror stories out there about dishonest moving companies, you definitely need to be careful who you hire.
