Public scales in Reno / Sparks / Fernley (I-80)

Five CAT Scales verified on the operators’ own location pages along I-80 east of Reno, west to east: TA Sparks #0172 (McCarran, Exit 19), Petro Sparks #0338 (Greg St, Exit 21), ONE9 #1359 at USA Parkway (Exit 32), Pilot #340 Fernley (Exit 46), and Flying J #1005 Fernley (Exit 48). Useful for U-Haul and PPM moves into or out of Reno, RVs and toy haulers headed for Tahoe, Pyramid Lake or the Black Rock Desert, and horse trailers on I-80 or US-95A. Coming over Donner from Sacramento, the last CAT stops on the California side are on Sacramento approaches.

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 Reno / Sparks

Nevada does not publish a CDFA-style public-scale grid we can cite, and ScaleRegistry’s public-weighing page lists no Reno-area walk-up house. We are not inventing one from industrial scale vendors, 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 Reno, Sparks and Fernley

We list only stops verified on the operator’s own location page. TA #0172 and Petro #0338 list CAT Scale on TA Petro’s own pages; ONE9 #1359, Pilot #340 and Flying J #1005 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 or certified public scale in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, or Washoe County with an operator page that sells walk-up weighmaster certificates. Love’s locations in northern Nevada were not confirmed on Love’s own pages tonight. Carson City / US-395 and Truckee have no own-page CAT stop listed here yet. Livestock policy everywhere. Store-listed 24h vs published CAT staffing.
