The correct answer is: It depends.

In Kansas and Oklahoma if you are driving any kind of commercial vehicle that has a GVWR (that's the rating-not actual weight) over 10,000 pounds you have to go across the scales. Basically all one tons with a plaquard on their door have to hit the scales with the semis. Log book/time sheet with vehicle inspections are also required if over 150 miles from home. If its a private vehicle and not for hire you'll be fine without any of that mess, but be careful. If you're hauling someone else's tractor or hauling in connection with a revenue producing business you'll learn real quick that you're seated in a commercial vehicle. Some people that drag race or compete in mudathons have been ticketed (cash prize for winning) for not having the correct paperwork.

Any vehicle or combination of vehicle/trailer that has a rating of 26,001 pounds (virtually all one ton PU/trailer combinations) has to go across the scales. If you are in that range and traveling over 100 miles better have you log book with you.

There are exceptions for Farm Tag, but otherwise the laws are on the books and state is hungry for revenues, a lot times it depends on who has pulled you over. We got the tickets and KDOT audit to prove it.
