What are the stopping requirements for the Safety and Weight Facilities (SWEFs)?
Wisconsin statute 348.19 requires vehicles to be weighed when directed to do so by a traffic officer. The remaining requirements are covered under Administrative Rule. Transportation rule 312.03(2) states, “…the Department chooses not to require operators of trucks having a gross weight of 8,000 pounds or less to stop at open weigh stations unless directed to do so by a traffic officer.
