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.

DOT is not a state thing, so they don't care what tags you have. If you're hauling commercial you are fair game. A few years ago they were tearing up the rodeo cowboys in TX because they had sponsor logos on their horse trailers and were using the horses and trailers in the activity of commerce. Cheap shot sure but constitutional :) yes.
Back to tags now. In NC you can't get a straight answer from anybody at DMV about weighted tags. I have a neighbor with a Cummins dually with regular tags on it. I asked him how he got them, he told me that what they gave him.
I finally just went with 12,000 lbs on my 2500 because personal RVs are exempt. I am reading the regulation as being what the truck weighs and is carrying. IE tongue weight or other items in the bed or cab.
Agree. I asked the NCDMV, and was told by every one of them, every year. "Personal camping trailers" are exempt from NC weight laws. And you will notice that any car or SUV can tow anything they want on a car tag. Here we only need a weighted tag if we have a 2500, or higher truck. and that is for the truck, not the trailer.
