Public scales on I-8 at Gila Bend and Yuma

Three CAT Scales verified on Love’s and Pilot Flying J own location pages on I-8 west of Phoenix metro: Love’s #296 Gila Bend (I-8 Exit 115 / Pima St), Pilot #1243 Gila Bend (I-8 Exit 119 / Butterfield Trl), and Love’s #349 Yuma (I-8 Exit 3 / Gila Ridge Rd). No ScaleRegistry dedicated walk-up house here. No Arizona CDFA-equivalent facility grid. ONE9 #1244 Gila Bend does not list CAT — omitted. Love’s #286 Quartzsite is on I-10 (Exit 17), not this I-8 cluster. For Maricopa I-10 / Loop 303 CAT, use Phoenix metro; for Imperial Valley / Hwy 86, use Imperial / Hwy 86.

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 on this corridor

ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page lists Colton, Lancaster, Merced, and Selma for California — no Gila Bend / Yuma dedicated house. Arizona Department of Agriculture publishes weighmaster licensing how-to, not a facility directory. We are not inventing a walk-up house from industrial scale vendors or third-party trucker directories. For Phoenix metro CAT northeast of Gila Bend, use Phoenix metro. For California’s Imperial Valley / Hwy 86 CAT cluster west of Yuma, use Imperial / Hwy 86.

Do not go here for a ticket

Arizona ports of entry and ADOT virtual ports / weigh-in-motion sites are commercial enforcement — not a place to buy a civilian weighmaster ticket for a U-Haul, RV, horse trailer, or PPM load. Dateland and other I-8 rest / screening sites are for commercial vehicles. Follow posted signs; do not treat this directory as a bypass guide.

What we still need to verify

Any dedicated public scale house in Gila Bend / Yuma with an operator page that sells walk-up weighmaster certificates. Love’s #286 Quartzsite (I-10 Exit 17, La Paz) lists CAT on its own page — optional later I-10 west corridor, not mixed into this I-8 cluster. Love’s #722 Mayer (I-17) stays elsewhere. Livestock policy everywhere. Store-listed 24h vs published CAT staffing.
