Public scales on I-5 at Wheeler Ridge
Two CAT Scales verified on TravelCenters of America and Petro own location pages at the I-5 Laval Road / Lake Isabella cluster just north of the Grapevine climb: TA #0239 Wheeler Ridge (5552 South Wheeler Ridge Road, Arvin) and Petro #0327 Wheeler Ridge (5821 Dennis McCarthy Dr., Lebec). Distinct from Flying J #616 Lebec at Frazier Mountain Park Rd on the Grapevine / I-5 mid-CA page. No ScaleRegistry dedicated walk-up house here. CDFA Kern grid did not load (WAF blocked). Mid-north Redding / Anderson still only has one own-page CAT (TA Redding #0057) — deferred. For Buttonwillow / Lost Hills farther north on I-5, use Buttonwillow / Lost Hills / I-5.
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 at Wheeler Ridge
ScaleRegistry’s California public-weighing list still points to inland Central Valley houses (Selma / Merced / Lancaster) — no Wheeler Ridge / Arvin / Laval Road dedicated house verified on this compile. We are not inventing a civilian ticket shop from third-party trucker directories.
CAT Scale at TA and Petro
We list only corridor CAT stops verified on the operator’s own location page. TA #0239 (Wheeler Ridge / I-5 at Lake Isabella or Laval Road) lists CAT Scale; Petro #0327 (Wheeler Ridge / I-5 at Laval Road West) lists CAT Scale. 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.

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.
