Public scales in the Imperial Valley (Hwy 86 / I-8)
Three CAT Scales verified on Love’s and Pilot Flying J own location pages: Love’s #749 Westmorland (Hwy 86), Pilot #1132 Brawley (Hwy 111 / Hwy 78), and ONE9 Dealer #1447 El Centro (I-8 Exit 115 / Wake Ave). CDFA Imperial (c=13) was WAF-blocked on this compile. No ScaleRegistry dedicated Imperial house used. Blythe Public Scales (dedicated) is on the Coachella Valley / I-10 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 on this corridor
ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page does not list a dedicated Imperial Valley house we used tonight. Blythe Public Scales (CDFA Riverside) is the nearest featured dedicated walk-up house and lives on the Coachella Valley / I-10 page. CDFA Imperial (c=13) was WAF-blocked on this compile — we are not inventing a walk-up house from third-party directories.
CAT Scale at Love’s / Pilot / ONE9
We list only corridor CAT stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Love’s #749 Westmorland lists CAT Scales on loves.com. Pilot #1132 Brawley and ONE9 #1447 El Centro list CAT Scale on Pilot Flying J location pages. 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. Dealer sites can keep different store hours than corporate Pilots — call ahead after dark. Use CAT’s locator for other stops.

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.
