But, you didn't address the first part of my post. I understand what the weight limits are, but none of my vehicles will ever see anywhere near 20K lb per axle. So, that restriction simply does not apply to me or to most people on this forum. The problem as I see it is figuring out the weight at which I can be ticketed. That weight will be much higher for my dually than my Venture, but neither will even approach the normal weight limits.
So, how do we define "overweight? Is it only when you exceed the 20K/axle, etc or is it the weight at which you can be ticketed? It has already been established that there are DOT weight limits for our tires so if I exceed the weight limit of my tires is my truck "overweight"? I know I can be ticketed, but I am not over the other weights. My truck doesn't have a registered weight, so I can't be over on that.
