How do Weight Stations work on US high ways?

I’ve gotten back from a 15 hr road trip and saw a lot of weigh stations for semi trucks. How does a truck driver go through that?

Weight stations on US highways are like big scales for trucks. When trucks drive on them, the stations measure how much the trucks weigh. This is important because trucks have limits on how heavy they can be to keep roads safe. If a truck is too heavy, it might cause damage to the road or be unsafe to drive. So, at these weight stations, trucks stop to get weighed, and if they’re too heavy, they might have to move some of their load or face a fine. It’s like making sure everyone follows the rules to keep the roads in good shape!
