Public scales in California’s Central Valley

Two dedicated public houses on ScaleRegistry (Selma with an operator site; Merced with address and phone only), plus Kern County CAT Scales verified on Pilot Flying J and Love’s own location pages (Bakersfield Zachary, Bakersfield Taft Hwy, Lost Hills I-5, plus the Hwy 58 Tehachapi–Boron cluster also featured on Mojave / Hwy 58). CDFA Kern (c=15), Fresno, and Merced facility grids did not load on this compile (WAF blocked), so this is not a full county table.

11 verified listings · 8 Kern · 1 Fresno · 2 Merced · 2 dedicated houses · 9 CAT stops · CDFA county grids not loaded

Filters hide cards, not industrial rows. CAT will not weigh under 2,000 lb — use a dedicated house for cars and empty utility trailers.

Dedicated public scales

Selma’s operator site sells certified weights to professional drivers. Highway 59 Scales in Merced is on ScaleRegistry the same way Colton and Lancaster are — address and phone, no published hours. Call before you drive either house with a civilian rig.

CAT Scale at Pilot and Love’s (Kern)

We list only Central Valley CAT stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Pilot #613 (Bakersfield / Zachary) and Flying J #616 (Lebec / Grapevine) publish CAT Scale. Love’s #830 (Bakersfield / Taft Hwy), #230 (Lost Hills), #392 (Tehachapi), and #441 (Santa Nella) each list CAT Scales. For the Grapevine-to-Patterson I-5 stretch as its own trip page, see Grapevine / I-5 mid-CA. Two other Bakersfield Pilot/dealer pages on the city list did not publish CAT amenities on an earlier compile, so they stay omitted. Use CAT’s locator for other stops. 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.

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 (c=15), Fresno, and Merced public-scale grids (blocked on this compile). Hours, fees, and livestock policy at Highway 59 Scales. Whether Selma will weigh a walk-up U-Haul / horse trailer / PPM (operator site speaks to professional truck drivers). Other Pilot / Flying J / Love’s / TA CAT stops on I-5 and Hwy 99 whose own pages list CAT. Kern / Fresno / Merced landfill or transfer gates that publish a civilian weighmaster ticket — omitted until an official page says so. Lat/lng for Selma and Merced houses.
