Information
This is one scale that weighs trucks in both directions.
To get to the weigh station (or as an alternate route to the freeway if the route 30 North Platte scale is closed), eastbound, take exit 179 route 56G north 1.9 miles to route 30. Turn right on route 30. The weigh station is just east of town on the right in 1.2 miles. After passing or crossing the weigh station, go another 10.5 miles on route 30. You'll see signs "To I 80." You'll make a right turn on route 56A spur and cross the rail road tracks. You'll go about 2 miles back to I 80 east bound.
To get to the scales westbound, take exit 190, route 56A spur and go north about 2 miles. You'll cross over the rail road tracks and go to the stop sign at route 30. Turn left on route 30. In 10.5 miles you will come to the scale on your left- when you get to the airport, you'll be very close to the weigh station. After leaving or passing the weigh station, you'll go 1.2 miles to the junction of route 56 G Link. There is a small "To I 80" sign there. You'll turn left and go 1.9 miles back to the ramp for I 80 west bound.

pulled 2 military tanks cross country(gross 160k).
North Platt Scale weighs each
axle instead of group. Permitted for 60k on tri. had
18k, 21k, and 21k. Ne would not let us shift load. pulled
permit and fined our co. 13k.
then we moved load to 20k,20k,and 20k. purchased the same permit again and let
go. Had to pay fine or trucks
impounded. No tolerance and no chance for trial. full payment on spot. Other trucks
fined for overweight because
of ice on trailer. scales open and close. closed at night. CAUTION-ENTER AT OWN RISK
