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.

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.
This is correct. The state of Missouri sells plates in 6,000 lb increments. As long as you buy heavy enough plates to cover both the GW of the truck and trailer they don't care. And only commercial trucks need to stop at the weigh stations.
Oh and in Missouri they only give you one plate. And they want it on the front of the tow vehicle. FYI
