About this Location

Facility Overview

The CAT Scale at Flying J Travel Center #647 is located at 844 E 1250 S in Haubstadt, Indiana, strategically positioned at the busy junction of Interstate 64 and U.S. Route 41. Operating as an integral hub within a full-service travel plaza, this facility features a heavy-duty, open-air surface lot designed to accommodate large commercial vehicles, tractor-trailers, oversized haulers, RVs, motorhomes, and personal passenger vehicles. Because the scale and parking facilities are completely uncovered with no overhead structures or vertical height restrictions, vehicles of any height, wheelbase, or configuration can enter, maneuver, and weigh without clearance concerns.

The location features certified CAT Scale platform scales engineered for precision axle and gross weight verification, alongside dedicated commercial truck parking bays and separate parking rows for standard passenger cars, light trucks, and SUVs. The expansive asphalt and reinforced concrete driving lanes ensure smooth navigation for continuous heavy vehicle flow round the clock.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Located in southwestern Indiana\'s Gibson County just north of the Evansville metropolitan border, this facility serves as a vital staging point for cross-country logistics and regional travel:

Tri-State Speedway: Located approximately 3 miles north along US-41, this legendary high-banked dirt oval track attracts regional sprint car and stock racing fans throughout the season.
Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indiana (TMMI): Situated roughly 8 miles north in Princeton, this massive automotive assembly plant generates substantial supplier traffic, making this plaza a premier staging area for haulers and logistics personnel.
Burdette Park & USI: The University of Southern Indiana and regional recreation venues on Evansville\'s west side are situated about 18 miles to the south, accessible directly via US-41 and I-64.
Downtown Evansville & Ford Center: Located about 15 miles south, offering concert venues, sports arenas, restaurants, and the Ohio River riverfront.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Navigating to the facility is exceptionally seamless for long-haul drivers and regional commuters alike. Immediate ingress and egress are provided via I-64 at Exit 25-B, connecting directly onto E 1250 S (Warrenton Road), just west of the interchange with US-41. Wide-radius deceleration and turning aprons make entering with wide loads or full 53-foot dry vans and reefers effortless.

Regional transit is vehicle-dependent across this interstate corridor, but the location acts as an arterial interchange linking St. Louis (to the west), Louisville (to the east), and Indianapolis/Terre Haute (to the north via US-41 and I-69). Generous layout buffers help reduce bottlenecking even during high-volume freight shipping windows and holiday highway rushes.
