Public scales in Winnemucca / Elko / Wells (I-80)

Five CAT Scales verified on the operators’ own location pages along I-80 across northeastern Nevada, west to east: TA Mill City #0181 (Exit 151/149), Pilot #485 Winnemucca (Exit 173), Flying J #770 Winnemucca (Exit 176), ONE9 #387 Carlin (Exit 280, about 22 miles west of Elko), and Petro Wells #0392 (Exit 352A at US-93). Stops are far apart out here, so plan your weigh before you leave town. Useful for U-Haul and PPM moves on the I-80 run between Reno and Salt Lake City, RVs and toy haulers headed for the Ruby Mountains or Jarbidge, and horse and stock trailers on US-95 or US-93. Heading west, the next CAT stops are on Reno / Sparks / Fernley.

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 between Fernley and Wendover

Nevada does not publish a CDFA-style public-scale grid we can cite, and ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page lists no walk-up house in Pershing, Humboldt or Elko County. We are not inventing one from mine-site scales, feed yards, recyclers, landfill gate scales, or third-party trucker directories. Every stop below is a CAT Scale at a truck stop, verified on the operator’s own page.

CAT Scales on I-80 through Winnemucca, Carlin and Wells

We list only stops verified on the operator’s own location page. TA Mill City #0181 and Petro Wells #0392 list CAT Scale on TA Petro’s own pages; Pilot #485, Flying J #770 and ONE9 #387 list CAT Scale in their own amenities and answer yes to “has a CAT scale”. 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. Nevada weighmaster rules differ from California — confirm ticket needs with your TO or DMV equivalent. Use CAT’s locator for other stops.

Do not go here for a ticket

Highway weigh / commercial-enforcement sites on I-80 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 Winnemucca, Elko or Wells with an operator page that sells walk-up weighmaster certificates. Flying J #692 Wells and Pilot #147 West Wendover answer yes to “has a CAT scale” in their FAQ, but their visible amenities lists did not show CAT Scale tonight, so they are held back until that matches. TA Express Carlin #0975 and TA Express Wendover #0458 do not list a CAT Scale on TA’s own pages. No own-page CAT found in the city of Elko itself. Livestock policy everywhere. Store-listed 24h vs published CAT staffing.
