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.

One more CA "thing' that some may not know, and only pertains to
CA registered vehicles and CA licensed drivers.
The "No Pickups" at Weigh Stations - was modified a few years ago!
Although not religiously enforced, the upper limits of GVWR pickups are now required to stop at scales.
Ditto *any* pickup with a utility or stake bed.
For CA - "The DOT" - is the CHP.
For areas close to off roading areas (like Glamis, Pismo Dunes, etc.)
The Chippies *will* check DLs for the proper endorsement/s for drivers towing heavy trailers (toys inside) which require same.
(Three axles is a dead giveaway! - then just look at the trlr rating plate)
Not in possession of a Class A non-commercial DL, will rate a 'park it' - until a properly licensed driver is located.
