Not unless the sign at the weigh station says all trucks over 5 tons. And by the way redneck the truck driver doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.

it varies by state – check the states’ DMV website.

I am a truck driver and know dot laws. Yes u have to stop at weigh stations and u are subjected to the gross vehicle weight. So make sure that your not over the legal weight limit for the truck. The fines are and can be steep.

rental trucks in non commercial service are not required to stop at truck stops.. we moved from KS to Wa in the biggest U haul truck pulling a car trailer and never stopped any truck scale.

They are in California. They will tell you when you rent the truck if you remember to ask.
