What is included in Gross Vehicle Weight

LOl...lots of second guessing opinion there Ron about the post and the BC members intent or my intent. Nice try tho. There was no conspiracy.
You and I have been through this before and it seems important to you to discredit others opinions that differ from yours. The BC poster said what he said.
As we all know sometimes we get better info on size and weights issues from actual dot enforcement officers themselves as the poster from BC did than a 1-800 call to a person on the phone. My paste and copy was the gist of his findings. Interpret any way you like.
His input from the dot guy mirrors what other BC members have said about registering their trucks at "a" GVWR which may or may not be the door post GVWR.

Division 19 — Miscellaneous is a sort of catch all that includes issues such as livestock transport on certain highways/permits/use of flashing lites/weight scales/tow dolly restrictions/and others.

19.05 weight scales; no question here the vehicles gross weight can be the sum of its axle weights.
(3) The gross weight of any tandem axles and the gross weight of any group of axles shall be the sum of the gross axle weights of all the axles comprising the tandem axles or the group of axles, as the case may be.
(4) The gross weight of any vehicle or combination of vehicles shall be the sum of the individual gross axle weights of all the axles of the vehicle or combination of vehicles.
en. B.C. Reg. 68/71, s. 5; am. B.C. Regs. 413/97, App. 1, s. 11; 135/2003, s. 6.

Confusing ?? Not really. However it would be one reason the poster from BC made a 1-800 call to dot which lead to more confusion and then contacted a actual dot person for their interpretation.
