Public scales on I-10 through the Coachella Valley
CDFA’s Riverside grid (c=33) loaded this compile. Blythe Public Scales, LLC is the dedicated walk-up house on that list. Four CAT Scales verified on Love’s and Pilot Flying J own location pages along the I-10 Coachella Valley corridor: Love’s #207 Coachella, Flying J #765 Thousand Palms, Pilot #307 North Palm Springs, and Pilot Dealer #1384 Mecca. TA Coachella omitted (third-party CAT directories only). Ventura deferred (CDFA industrial call-first only — thin for walk-up users). Pilot #1328 Rialto and Pilot Dealer #1458 Perris live on the Inland Empire page, not this corridor filter.
This page lists 6 places to weigh near Palm Springs & Blythe, CA: 4 CAT or truck-stop scales, 1 dedicated public scale house, 1 call-first site (landfills, quarries, recyclers). They are in Blythe, Coachella, Thousand Palms, North Palm Springs and Mecca. 5 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.

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.
Hours, fees, and livestock policy at Blythe Public Scales (not on CDFA). Operator website for Blythe if one appears. TA Coachella omitted until an operator page we treat as primary confirms CAT. Temecula / Corona Love’s or Pilot stops without own-page CAT confirmation omitted. Ventura CDFA rows are industrial call-first only — deferred as thin for walk-up users.
