WEIGH STATION

Parking: Exit 280 has Petro, Pilot, Flying J west of the West Memphis truck scales.
If you cross the border from Tennessee to Arkansas on I 40, you will cross this scale. There are no exits between the bridge over the river and the weigh station. This location has PrePass but does not have any visible weigh-in-motion sensors in the road.
The West Memphis west bound weigh station used to be further west. This “newer” location was built and appeared to be useable long before they ever started using it- there were rumors among the truckers that the weigh station was sinking. Whatever the opening delay was, the scale in full use now. Don’t expect it to be closed at night, on weekends or on holidays.
Alternate Route Information
For those who don’t mind driving a good long ways out of the way and waiting for the right timing, cross into Arkansas down on route 49 in Lula, Mississippi (W. Helena, Arkansas). There is a weigh station down on route 49 but locals say that weigh station is usually closed at night and on weekends- see the information on the Lula, MS, weigh station. Be aware, if you are planning to drive south on I 55 out of Memphis, of the Nesbit, MS, weigh station and the alternate route information for that weigh station.
