Hi Co, Colorado has a sign posted at the scales, No pick-ups unless with livestock. If you have Co plates and livestock then you don't have to stop and they won't bother you. Anything can happen tho, My son went to Co. to pick up a 14ft bass boat his Grandfather gave him using his AZ, Ranger pick-up. He's comes past the scales at Cortez, Co and heads south to the Four Corners. Just as he gets to Four corners about 70miles away, he gets pulled over by DOT; DOT says "Why didn't you scale at Cortez? Son says "I was unware that trailers under 10,000lbs had to scale. Is this a spot check or something?" DOT says "No, we help Game and Fish out and find most motor homes have over there limit in game. We noticed in the camera your AZ truck plate and the CO boat plate. You need to return to the Cortez scales, wheres your license" Son hands his "CDL" license to the DOT officer. About 10 minutes latter DOT officer comes back really pissed. My son is Federal Marshall and every time he gets stopped or questioned, his supervisor has to be notified. Read this as 4 hrs of paper work for the DOT officer :) He "let him go" for being a fellow officer but got a chewing out for failing to indenifiy himself. T_Bone
