Motor carrier officer could do it for you but he might find other “issues”.

So a public truck scale can do a 4 corner weigh? Is that legal in a MH?

So are you after what each wheel or set of wheels weighs? Any truck scale could axle you out. Just two axles? Just kinda unusual to want each wheel weighs. What town are you in? I might have ideas where to go.

Hi Dave,

I have used the Cat Scales in Saginaw and Grayling. It is indeed an individual wheel weigh I am looking for. Folks on hetr recommend it.

I am north of Saginaw.

The only thing I can think of is back to the motor carrier officer with his portable scales. They set up in the rest areas at times and weigh trucks. That is what that one foot wide notch in the concrete is for. I don’t know if they would do it for you or not just out of the goodness of their heart.

Thanks Dave,

I did find a place last year that could do it but lost the details. It was possibly a grain elevator.

Interesting. Better than dealing with that motor carries officer. I would be queries to know how much the weight varies from one side to the other.

I will post the weights.

I purchased an industrial scale that does up to 600lbs so will weigh all the stuff in the coach.

Thinking about your situation and for any body else if you can find a platform truck scale that has concrete around it where you could hang one wheel off on to the concrete so that you are weighing three wheels at a time then do the math. But it sounds like you have your situation under control.

Hi Dave,

No luck witha 4 corner weigh as they had concrete slabs at the side. I did get a standard weigh while there.

I had a full tank of gas and water. Steer has 1340lbs left ans rear 2660 left of capacity.
