I am moving out of state and need to know the weight of my moving truck to determine if I will be required to stop at weigh stations.

I have never stopped at a weigh station here in the US. I was told by the rental companies it was not necessary, even with an 18 footer. The GVW is usually between 9500 and 10500 lbs for a 12 footer, depending on the vehicle manufacturer.
From Penske's site:
Our 12' truck* comfortably moves 1 to 2 rooms. You'll get the following space advantages:
72 square feet of floor space
450 cubic feet of loading space
A 2,400 lb. load capacity
Interior dimensions of 11'4"L x 6'5"W x 6'1"H
A 35 gallon gasoline fuel tank
These trucks are designed and maintained to maximize your safety and comfort. Our 12' truck includes:
An EFI V-8 engine with automatic transmission
Anti-lock brakes for safer stops
Air conditioning
AM/FM radio
Power steering
Bucket seats
Cargo tie-rails
Rear roll-up door
Dual faced mirrors for better vision
Every 12' truck also receives regularly scheduled preventive maintenance. Each truck is cleaned and inspected thoroughly prior to pickup.
* Capacities and dimensions are approximations and may
vary depending on manufacturer.

i have really had 3 reviews with shifting organizations. One with Penske went nicely altho' the broker on the different end replaced into problematic to discover (did not have Google maps then.) both between the U-haul leases had issues. Neither time did they fairly have the truck length I had reserved. On one vacation the brakes went out and they had to tow the truck in. fortuitously they paid for the room when you consider that we were nonetheless some hundred miles from living house and it replaced into after hour of darkness. only observed a U-haul truck damaged down on the expressway the former day. So, i'd propose Penske.

Take the truck to a weigh station and weigh it right after you rent it and before you start loading it. Then weigh it again after it's loaded. This is what we did when we moved out of state. Good luck!

YOU WOULD THINK PENSKE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HELPFUL... AND ONLY USE TRUCKS WITH WHEELS.....ALL TRUCKS WITH WHEELS HAVE A (VIN) VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER PLATE WHICH ALSO SAYS THE VEHICLE WEIGHT...ONLY TRUCKS WITH WHEELS :0
