Every driver of a “commercial vehicle” is required to stop and submit the vehicle to an inspection of the size, weight, equipment, and smoke emissions of the vehicle at any location where members of the CA Highway Patrol are conducting tests and inspections of commercial vehicles and when signs are displayed requiring the stop.
A “commercial vehicle” is defined as a motor vehicle of a type registered to be used or maintained for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit and designed, used or maintained primarily for the transportation of property. Any vanpool vehicle or passenger vehicle not used for the transportation of persons for hire, compensation, or profit and housecars are not commercial vehicles.
Portable scales are also used to check compliance with the legal weight limits.
