Georgia Weigh Stations & Ag Inspection

When Georgia makes you pull in

At 10,001 lb GVWR or actual gross, you pull into every open Georgia weight and inspection station. Refuse to stop when ordered and it's a misdemeanor: a fine up to $200 and up to a 90-day license suspension (O.C.G.A. § 32-6-30). Main scales sit on I-75 (Monroe, near Forsyth), I-95, I-20, I-85, and I-16, on lit open/closed signs. PrePass and Drivewyze now cover roughly 19 Georgia sites, so a green light keeps you rolling.

Stations, bypass, and inspection

• Who must stop: Over a weight threshold
• Where the stations are: Main weight and inspection stations sit on I-75 (Monroe, near Forsyth), I-95, I-20, I-85, and I-16, on lit open/closed signs. Weigh-in-motion and roving Motor Carrier Compliance Division officers cover the corridors between them.
• Bypass: Available and growing. Georgia leaned on roadside messaging for years but now runs Drivewyze PreClear at roughly 19 sites (including the Monroe I-75 scales near Forsyth) alongside PrePass. A green signal keeps you on the highway; red or no signal means enter.
• Ag / border inspection: No mandatory agricultural or produce inspection stations for through trucks. Georgia enforces size, weight, and safety only.
• Fine for passing an open station: Refuse to stop when ordered and it's a misdemeanor: a fine up to $200 and a driver's license suspension of up to 90 days by the Department of Driver Services (O.C.G.A. § 32-6-30).
