Who has to stop at truck weigh inspection stations?

All vehicles over 10,001 pound gross vehicle weight or more are subject to safety inspections at fixed or temporary roadside locations (NDCC 39-12-07). During the safety/weight inspection, random vehicle, hours of service, and driver’s license checks are conducted.

Vehicles and/or operators with an out-of-service violation will be immediately placed out of service.

Drivers not possessing a valid permit or license are required to obtain those documents before being allowed to proceed.

Any driver of a vehicle who refuses to stop and submit the vehicle and load to a weighing when directed to do so is guilty of a class B misdemeanor. (NDCC 39-12-21)
