Money and morality. Drive a rig that is overloaded according to the manufacturer...have an accident and discover what your insurance adjuster will do. It is his job to determine if your policy was abided with before he approves any payout. They are trained to look at any means of not paying...including your using your vehicle in a manner specifically forbidden by the manufacturer. We're not talking about speeding but about rigging or using your vehicle to perform an illegal task. I'm not worried about a citation from some officer. But I would be very worried about eternal lawsuits with nobody in my corner.
I am going to leave the insurance thing alone because I don't even think that comes into play in the way you are suggesting unless exceeding the manufacturers ratings is in fact a violation of law which you also suggest.
So, how do you propose to support your claim that exceeding the ratings on the door sticker is in fact a violation of law?
Can someone please play the theme music to Jeopardy while we all wait patiently.
