    Not really. All the secondary roads going into Florida have ag staring. You'd have to get on some real cow paths to aid them.

    Mississippi weight stations have signs requiring anything over 10,000 pounds to pull through station

    How many rvs have you seen pulling in to a weigh station? They weigh over 10k lbs

    Id say just go through. If you are empty, then they probably wont bother. if you are really concerned, you might be able to get away with a "not for hire" sign over your current decals showing that you are not making money on that run. To be fair though Id just go through. If you have your stuff in order then theres nothing to worry about. Gotta get used to going over the scales anyways.

    It all depends on how your vehicle is Registered when passing weight stations. If you are registered commercial, whether or not you have signage on truck, you must stop at weight station. Those that think covering sign get you a free pass are mistaking. How can you cover your plates or IRP, registration that says you are commercial? If you have private plates or RV plates just roll on. It all depends on how truck is being utilized.

    You are absolutely correct about the rvs not entering weigh stations , I think I have seen one or two , but not sure about that. All I can say is that sign indicates all vehicles over ten thousand LBS

    Huh? The ag station has nothing to do with weight.
