Public scales on Hwy 99 at Madera

Two CAT Scales verified on Pilot Flying J and Love’s own location pages at the north-Madera CA-99 exits: Love’s #736 (Exit 157 / Avenue 17) and Pilot #365 (Exit 159 / Ave 18 1/2). No ScaleRegistry dedicated walk-up house in Madera. CDFA Madera grid did not load on this compile (WAF blocked). Nearby EZ Trip #1275 (Ave 12) does not list CAT on Pilot’s page — omitted. For Selma and Merced dedicated houses, use the Central Valley page; for Hwy 99 Ripon / Stockton approaches, see Hwy 99 / Stockton.

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 in Madera

ScaleRegistry’s California public-weighing list still points to Selma and Merced for the broader Central Valley — no Madera dedicated house. Use the Central Valley page for those walk-up ticket shops. We are not inventing a civilian ticket shop from third-party trucker directories.

CAT Scale at Love’s and Pilot

We list only corridor CAT stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Love’s #736 (Madera / CA-99 Exit 157) and Pilot #365 (Madera / CA-99 Exit 159) each list CAT Scale / CAT Scales. 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. Use CAT’s locator for other stops.

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.
