CAT Scale Price Increase
Posted by Wicell@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 14 comments
I just heard that scale tickets are going up to $15.25 for first weigh and $5.25 for re-weigh. Starting 05/01/2026.
Has anyone else heard or seen this?

I don’t fit on them. Last time I remember using one it was $10.

I remember when the CAT scale cost $5.00 and reweigh cost $1.00. Then when they jumped to $8 and $2 all the drivers were complaining.

Reweighs used to be free when I started driving and first weigh was $4

I don't even know how to use the CAT scales, never had to use one luckily

I’m going to have to assume you don’t drive trucks. You just pull on the scale and hit the button. They ask your truck and trailer number then you get off the scale park and go inside for the paperwork. If weights are good you leave if they’re bad you adjust your tandems tires if possible then repeat the process until weights are legal. If you can’t get legal you drive back to whoever loaded you and tell the to fix it.

How many overweight tickets have you gotten and how much have you had to pay?

I drive in Canada. Cat scale is $25 here. Eight dollars for a reweigh.

It seems to increase at least $1 every year.

Yeah I saw just good stuff. Good stuff all around

So now a first weigh costs more, total, than a reweigh did just a few years ago.

Again?? This is just greed at its finest. I hope this doesn't affect this one small mom and pop scale I use that's cheaper than the pilot next door
Shallow-Thought@reddit
Yup. Just saw it on the app when I scaled an hour ago.

Good to know. I don't use the app usually cause I like to stack love's points
