For what it is worth, HERE is a link to the Wa state weight rules, what you need to follow etc. No where does it say you are limited to the manufacture gvw/gaw ratings. You buy tonneage by 2000 lb increments, you are legal to that per ton amount. My 8600 gvwr per GM has a paid for registration of 8K lbs, That is ALL I am legal too. My MDT dumptruck, per Navistar, is 18200, I have a 26K paid for gvwr, I have been pulled over as high as 27K lbs, with no wt ticket, etc. Only a 10day get registered to 28K until that registration expired 3 months down the road, then it was legal to go back to 26K.
My 05 dually 3500, was licensed at 14K, I am legal to that amount. There are a few others on here that have trucks licensed in Wa st, we all have the same requirements, and most will quote what I have quoted too.
