I am doing my ETS move in just a few days. I live about 1 hour from the nearest army base where they offer free scale to weight you car. I used public scale locator and move.mil locator to search for scales near me, but there are none. Can I just any public scales located off the freeway?

I am inclined to say yes.

CAT scales are certified, and even help testify if an overweight axel happens. You shouldn’t need that level, but an $11 reimbursable fee is worth the comfort of mind. *full disclosure - former truck driver

Yes you can use public scales, I used a rock and gravel company’s scale service when I PCS’d from Ft. Carson
