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.

Thanks for all the reply's. From the reply's and what I have seen on my road trips, the odds of being stopped and/or weighed are remote. I agree with having a safety margin with tire and weight loading.
FYI - in New York, when you register your truck or trailer, it will be for the GVW as stated by MFG. and the unladen weight will be as stated on title unless you have a certified scale weight.
Here is a link to the application form. It states the "Maximum Gross Weight" for "Trailers or Commercial Vehicles". So it would appear the the maximum gross weight does not apply to private pickups.
