If I understand all the above correctly:
Exceeding GVRW by, lets say, 30# is not a violation.
Exceeding GAWR by 30# is a violation.
Exceeding GCVWR by 30# is a violation.
Or does the above depend on the state the vehicle is registered in.
Nope. It depends on what your registered weight is. You can register you vehicle for whatever weight you want to haul. However, if your truck's empty weight is 7500 lbs then of course it wouldn't do you any good to register it for 6000 lbs as empty you'd already be 1500 lbs over your registered weight. If you registered that same truck for 8000 lbs then you could carry an additional 500 lbs on the registered plates. If you want to haul more than the 500 lbs then you need to pay more tax, ie registration, to haul whatever load you want to haul.
