Vermont Weigh Stations & Ag Inspection
Vermont runs border-style weigh stations where its interstates enter the state: I-89 at White River Junction and Highgate Springs, I-91 at Guilford and Derby Line. When a station is open, all commercial traffic reports in, and roving patrols catch the rest. Drivewyze PreClear is the only bypass here, so without a green signal you obey the lit sign. Failing to stop is a civil violation fined off the state schedule, with CDL fallout (23 V.S.A. §1391 et seq.).
A detail here is flagged medium confidence — confirm with the state agency before you rely on it.
When Vermont makes you pull in
Vermont runs border-style weigh stations where its interstates enter the state: I-89 at White River Junction and Highgate Springs, I-91 at Guilford and Derby Line.

Stations, bypass, and inspection
- Who must stop: Only when a sign directs
- Where the stations are: Border-style fixed stations on I-89 (White River Junction near New Hampshire, Highgate Springs near Canada) and I-91 (Guilford near Massachusetts, Derby Line near Canada), plus US-7. They screen commercial traffic entering the state; roving patrols cover the rest.
- Bypass: Drivewyze PreClear only. Vermont authorized Drivewyze for its border weigh stations; PrePass is not offered here. A green signal means bypass; no signal means report in.
- Ag / border inspection: No state produce-inspection stations. The Canadian border crossings are federal CBP, not a state ag stop.
- Fine for passing an open station: Failing to stop when the signs are operating is a civil violation, fined off the Judicial Bureau schedule under Title 23, with possible CDL consequences.
