    I seen this in Florida as well as New Mexico. Is it mandatory to stop here if you have agriculture? Last time the place was full all the way to the highway so I just skipped it. If I have a frozen load of bread would I still have to stop?

    Are these places open 24/7? I never seen any open/closed signs like the scales. What exactly goes on there?

    Every truck has to stop unless you get the bypass, regardless of what you are hauling.

    Normally just get a pass with a tractor trailer freight hauler. With livestock they want to see paperwork, horses anyway. With a U Haul they may want to check for migrant workers. With a class 8 day cab out of state farm tag the world stops. The line was long before I got released and everything was in order. They held me on the scale bobtail and the line was long. CB was smoking. That is the kind of stuff that normally happens.

    I used to drive a regular old Chevy cargo van 30 years ago.

    The sign specified vans also back than Usually waved through. Couple times open the doors to look inside

    Ag inspection is mainly to review your load and be sure that whatever fruit or veg you have can transit into or out of the state. Goal to protect growers. For example Arizona grows a small amount of citrus and they will not allow in citrus from other places without protections in place.. Ca, FL and Tx have pests that AZ doesn’t.
