Has anyone been stopped by D.O.T.
Concerned about being weighed. I'm 240 lbs. over gross on truck. Rear tires and axle are just under. Front axle only gained 60 lbs. Fiver axles and tires are fine.

I think the Hwy Patrol station in Lees Summit could be mistaken. I've been driving our Dodge with 24,000 plates for about 10 years and have never been told to stop at weigh stations, and have been stopped a few times by the Hiway Patrol in Missouri. One LEO even commented he was glad to see I had the necessary plates for the load I was hauling. Just my personal experience of course.
MODOT doesn't really care if what you're hauling is too heavy for your truck, only that you have the proper plates for it. As long as you have 24,000 plates for your F150 you'll hear nothing about whether it's safe or not to pull that 12,000 lb. 5th wheel, only whether you're legally licensed.
Kinda sounds like it's all about the "MONEY"..
As long as you pay for the heavier weight, we don't give a hoot if your unsafe or uncapable at your weight. :h
