Public scales east of Albuquerque (Moriarty & Santa Rosa, I-40)
Three CAT Scales verified on the operators’ own location pages on I-40 east of Albuquerque: Pilot #475 Moriarty (Exit 196), TA Moriarty #0229 (Exit 194) and TA Santa Rosa #0023 (Exit 277). Useful for U-Haul and PPM moves heading toward Amarillo, RVs and fifth-wheels on old Route 66, and horse and stock trailers crossing the eastern plains. West, see Albuquerque / I-40 · I-25 and Gallup / Jamestown / Milan / I-40.
This page lists 3 places to weigh near Moriarty & Santa Rosa, NM: 3 CAT or truck-stop scales. They are in Moriarty and Santa Rosa. 3 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.
No verified dedicated public scale house on east I-40 yet
We have not found a walk-up public scale house in Moriarty, Clines Corners or Santa Rosa with an operator page we can cite, and ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page lists none in New Mexico. We are not inventing one from gravel yards, feed lots, landfill gate scales, or third-party trucker directories. All three stops below are CAT Scales at truck stops, verified on Pilot Flying J’s and TA Petro’s own location pages.
CAT Scales on I-40 east of Albuquerque
We list only stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Pilot #475 includes CAT Scale in its store offerings and says Open 24 Hours. TA Moriarty and TA Santa Rosa list CAT Scale among their amenities, but the hours they print are restaurant hours, so we leave their scale hours blank. None of the three publishes a CAT-staffing schedule. The ONE9 Dealer #1422 in Moriarty (Exit 197) does not list a CAT Scale, so it is not here. Santa Rosa to Tucumcari (I-40 Exit 277 to Exit 333) is about 55 miles with no stop we have verified yet. 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. New Mexico weighmaster rules differ from California — confirm ticket needs with your TO or licensing office. Use CAT’s locator for other stops.
Pilot Flying J’s own store page says Open 24 Hours. No CAT-staffing schedule is published. Confirm the scale is working before a late-night trip.

New Mexico weighmaster rules differ from California — confirm ticket needs with your TO or licensing office. Do not unload horses in the lot. Confirm on CAT’s locator. Not a DOT station.
TA Petro’s own Moriarty page lists CAT Scale among amenities but publishes no 24-hour store or CAT-staffing schedule. Call ahead before a late-night trip.

New Mexico ports of entry on I-40 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 between Moriarty and Tucumcari with an operator page that sells walk-up weighmaster certificates. CAT-scale staffing hours at all three stops. Tucumcari and Clines Corners stops are unchecked. Livestock policy everywhere.
