? How about bringing back rest areas.
What's the point of these things?

There is an obesity joke in there somewhere.

State probably doesn't have the money to operate them. Also, the reason we have no state rest stops.
You must never travel

No moneys
Illinois is just the same, rarely open, and most are brand new.

Honestly, I have often wondered why you need duplicate weigh stations...typically located at the state lines with one on each side of the line?....
On I-55 north of Hammond, Mississippi operates the one on the northbound lanes and Louisiana operates the one on the southbound lanes. LA northbound and MS southbound are closed.

Weigh in motion
Weigh in motion only works when there's an operating scale house right after. The weigh in motion is not as accurate, so it pretty much just allows empty trucks to bypass the scale to save time. Trucks close to the limit are called in to weigh on the accurate scale at the station.
The biggest thing causing them to close is money. The two at the TX line flooded last year and never reopened. I'm not sure about the eastbound side in Breaux Bridge, it's been closed for a year or more. La Place and Hammond are operational. While they do generate revenue I'm sure its being used for something besides maintaining the stations.
MS and LA share a weigh station inside of MS on I-10, so they can issue LA and MS tickets, but that's rare.
