Public scales on Hwy 99 at Bakersfield

Two CAT Scales verified on Love's and Pilot Flying J own location pages on southern Hwy 99 in Bakersfield: Love's #830 (Exit 18 / Taft Hwy) and Pilot #613 (Exit 39 / Zachary Ave). No ScaleRegistry dedicated walk-up house in Bakersfield. CDFA Kern grid did not load on this compile (WAF blocked). For Tulare and Madera Hwy 99 CAT stops, use those corridor pages; for Buttonwillow and Lost Hills I-5, use the Buttonwillow / Lost Hills page; for Selma and Merced dedicated houses, see the Central Valley page.

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 Bakersfield

ScaleRegistry's California public-weighing list still points to Selma and Merced for the broader Central Valley — no Bakersfield / Kern County dedicated house. Use the Central Valley page for those walk-up ticket shops. We are not inventing a civilian ticket shop from third-party trucker directories.

CAT Scale at Love's and Pilot

We list only corridor CAT stops verified on the operator's own location page. Love's #830 (Bakersfield / Hwy 99 Exit 18 / Taft Hwy) lists CAT Scales; Pilot #613 (Bakersfield / Hwy 99 Exit 39 / Zachary Ave) confirms CAT scale in FAQ. 2,000 lb floor. No corner weights. Do not unload horses at a truck stop. In California, go inside for a printed weighmaster certificate when you need one. Use CAT's locator for other stops.

Do not go here for a ticket

California Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facilities (CHP weigh stations) are for commercial enforcement — not a place to buy a civilian weighmaster ticket for a U-Haul, RV, horse trailer, or PPM load. See Caltrans' weigh-station primer and follow posted signs; do not treat this directory as a bypass guide.

What we still need to verify

Full CDFA Kern public-scale grid (blocked on this compile). Any dedicated walk-up weighmaster house in Bakersfield / Kern County with an operator page. Lat/lng for Love's #830 and Pilot #613. Livestock policy. Other Hwy 99 CAT stops south of Tulare (Delano, Earlimart, other Kern locations) whose own pages list CAT — not third-party directories.
