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.

- Sounds like a state-to-state thing. Most all states only care about commercial vehicles. Guess MO is the exception. You won't be weighed in AZ. Cali, on the other hand, has licensing requirements for various RV's and will pull you over to check your driver's license endorcements: never mind that such a traffic stop is unconstitutional.
- Yes, we were at a state park in Missouri..Sunday, just outside the park, DOT was there weighing rigs...big problem was those with a 150 truck and pulling a 12,000-14,000 trailer. Mo plates are according to combined weight. truck & trailer, Plates are 12,000..18,000...24,000 & 30,000......anything over 18,000 plates must stop at a weigh station..(that was per Hwy patrol station in Lees Summit, MO)
- Unless RV.net starts handing out badges to the weight police on this board I think you'll be fine.
- You're not breaking any laws.
- No - and you won't be either. Rear tires on the truck are the most critical thing... just make sure you have a safety margin on them.
