Public scales on US-101 at Salinas

Two CAT Scales verified on Love’s and Pilot Flying J own location pages at US-101 Exit 326 in Salinas: Love’s #898 (De La Torre / Exit 326A) and Pilot #237 (Work St / Exit 326B). No ScaleRegistry dedicated walk-up house in Monterey County on this compile. CDFA Monterey grid did not load (WAF blocked). Gilroy Garlic Farm third-party CAT and undeclared Pilot/Love’s Gilroy CAT rows omitted until an operator page we treat as primary confirms CAT. For I-5 inland CAT (Santa Nella / Patterson), use the Grapevine / I-5 mid-CA page.

Filters hide cards, not industrial rows. CAT will not weigh under 2,000 lb — use a dedicated house for cars and empty utility trailers.

No verified dedicated public scale house in Salinas

ScaleRegistry’s California public-weighing list still points to inland Central Valley houses (Selma / Merced) — no Monterey / Salinas dedicated house verified on this compile. We are not inventing a civilian ticket shop from third-party trucker directories.

CAT Scale at Love’s and Pilot

We list only corridor CAT stops verified on the operator’s own location page. Love’s #898 (Salinas / US-101 Exit 326A / De La Torre) and Pilot #237 (Salinas / US-101 Exit 326B / Work St) each list CAT Scale / CAT Scales. 2,000 lb floor. No corner weights.

Do not go here for a ticket

California Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Facilities (CHP weigh stations) are for commercial enforcement — not a place to buy a civilian weighmaster ticket for a U-Haul, RV, horse trailer, or PPM load. See Caltrans’ weigh-station primer and follow posted signs; do not treat this directory as a bypass guide.

What we still need to verify

Full CDFA Monterey public-scale grid (blocked on this compile). Any dedicated walk-up weighmaster house in Salinas / Monterey with an operator page. Livestock policy. Other US-101 CAT stops (Gilroy Garlic Farm, King City, Prunedale) whose own pages list CAT — not third-party directories. Far-north I-5 CAT now ships on the Weed / Yreka / I-5 page.
