The DMV required that I obtain a weight certificate from an approved certified public scale weighmaster station. Basically California charges you a tax on the amount of weight you put on CA roads when registering your commercial out of state truck with the DMV in San Diego, Orange County or Los Angeles. This is sometimes a difficult task since many approved weight stations have closed down in the San Diego area due to the economy and nearly all the junk yards and recycling centers eight don’t offer this service or sell you an invalid weight ticket, regardless of what they tell you, the DMV simply does not accept them. Most of the time it’s due to the fact they are not an approved weigh master or the certificate if filled out incorrectly and does not indicate the tare or gross weight specifications. After doing some extensive research, we located one weigthmaster branch which is still in business and works directly with the DMV and Military DITY Personally Procured Transportation Scales PPT moves programs, only problem is that they are located in Los Angeles, CA near the LAX airport. Good news is their Saturday hours are rather flexible. We visited this station on a Saturday morning, the wait time was minimal. Here’s their information for your personal use, hope this blog is helpful to you.
