Can trucks get gas at truck scales?
Official weigh stations are operated by the highway department for the enforcement of laws relating to maximum load limits and have no services available to the general public. (It's a bit like asking if you can buy donuts at a police station.) However, it's not uncommon for "truck stop" type service stations to have unofficial scales for drivers to check their load to make sure they're within the legal load limit.
