People keep saying it's fine to go over the trucks weight sticker ratings. Sure, it will pull, it may even stop, sort of. But if you ever get in an accident, the first thing the insurance company will do, is check to see if you were over ratings. When they find you were, your insurance is no good, and lawyers from the other vehicle in the accident, will come after you with a vengeance. After all, you negligently disregarded the trucks specifications. You are at fault. You can imagine where that will go.

I've always been curious if anyone stating the above actually has FIRST PERSON experience with that or is it another internet myth? Sad that you americans live life in fear of the all mighty lawyer. Another reason to move to Canada next year, maybe :)
Not condoning the overloading or not overloaded conversation, just curious if ANYONE can step up and say that the above law suite actually happened to them.?
Just the opposite. Three years ago in May we were traveling with our trailer in tow and traffic slowed rapidly and I hit a van in front of me that had just changed lanes. I was ticketed for careless driving. Some damage to both vehicles but no injuries. My insurance paid and they never asked about my trailer or even looked at anything other then the truck.
