I'm not exactly clear, but it seems a CHP can verify it, the problem is I'm not sure there is a CHP by the area, there is a public scale on the freeway, but they won't weigh it, I need to take it to a certified scale as they say the one on the freeway is only for large trucks on the highway. The DMV is the other option, pretty close, so I was just thinking of taking it over there.

Today is not stacking up well to take it over, I'm busy with some work stuff...*sigh* I've worked so little in the past couple years I should be thankful... blush

panic,

Yeah, they have already done that much, they need the physical verification of the actual VIN on the vehicle. The truck was last registered in MO. The CA DMV is requiring me to have it weighed and get the VIN verified. All the rest of the paperwork has been taken care of.
