Public scales in Albuquerque, New Mexico (I-40 and I-25)
Three CAT Scales verified on the operators’ own location pages in Albuquerque: Flying J #689 on the west side (I-40 Exit 153), TA Albuquerque #0081 at the Big I (I-40 Exit 159A/D, I-25 Exit 225/227) and Pilot #1106 on Broadway at the south edge of town (I-25 Exit 215). Useful for U-Haul and PPM moves through New Mexico, RVs and fifth-wheels on I-40 or I-25, and horse and stock trailers heading for the Rio Grande Valley. West on I-40, see Gallup / Jamestown / Milan / I-40.
This page lists 3 places to weigh near Albuquerque, NM: 3 CAT or truck-stop scales. All are in Albuquerque. 3 are listed as likely to print a certified weight ticket, the kind PPM movers and RV owners checking weight ratings usually need. CAT platforms have a 2,000 lb minimum and do not give corner weights.
Filters hide cards, not industrial rows. CAT will not weigh under 2,000 lb — use a dedicated house for cars and empty utility trailers.
No verified dedicated public scale house in Albuquerque yet
We have not found a walk-up public scale house in Albuquerque with an operator page we can cite, and ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page lists none in New Mexico. We are not inventing one from gravel yards, recyclers, landfill gate scales, or third-party trucker directories. All three stops below are CAT Scales at truck stops, verified on TA Petro’s and Pilot Flying J’s own location pages.
CAT Scales in Albuquerque
We list only stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Flying J #689 and Pilot #1106 include CAT Scale in their store offerings and say Open 24 Hours. TA Albuquerque lists CAT Scale among its amenities and says fuel is available 24/7, but publishes no 24-hour store statement, so we leave its scale hours blank. None of the three publishes a CAT-staffing schedule. 2,000 lb floor. No corner weights. Weigh the whole rig, then drop the trailer and weigh the tow vehicle for the trailer number. Do not unload horses at a truck stop. New Mexico weighmaster rules differ from California — confirm ticket needs with your TO or licensing office. Use CAT’s locator for other stops.
Pilot Flying J’s own store page says Open 24 Hours. No CAT-staffing schedule is published. Confirm the scale is working before a late-night trip.
Pilot Flying J’s own store page lists CAT Scale (code 318) in the store’s offerings; I-40 Exit 153 on the west side of Albuquerque (Bernalillo County), the first big stop eastbound after the climb down Nine Mile Hill.

New Mexico ports of entry on I-40 and I-25 are for commercial vehicles — not a place to buy a civilian weighmaster ticket for a U-Haul, RV, boat, horse trailer, or PPM load. Follow posted signs; do not treat this directory as a bypass guide.
What we still need to verify
Any dedicated public scale house in Albuquerque with an operator page that sells walk-up weighmaster certificates. CAT-scale staffing hours at all three stops. Pilot #475 Moriarty (I-40 Exit 196) shows a CAT Scale in Pilot’s nearby-store data but has not had its own page checked yet, so it is not listed. TA Moriarty, TA Santa Rosa, Los Lunas and Santa Fe stops are unchecked. Livestock policy everywhere.
