as I have said many many times this is how my state interpets/enforces FMCSA weight rules according to my state DOT officers and weight certified OHP troopers. No I did not ask them for a web site for verification. Do not assume your interpetation of your state laws is the same as how my state enforces/interpets laws pertaining GVWR/GAWR. I've been through weigh stations in approx 12 states when I pulled commercially (non RVs} so I know what a dot inspector looks at. How many have you been through ?? What state were you operating out of ?? You or any other poster can give your state/my state a call for their interpetations/enforcement. No they won't give you a web specifically for your truck. All you get is how they interpet/enforce and that will determine the operators requirements for compliance.

just a comment for wadcutter. So far all we've seen from your door tag assesment, is your opinion. Show us a document that says the door tag GVWR/GAWR isn't used from our 2500/3500 class truck for combined licensing requirements per FMCSA or my state. So far all you've shown us is the max axle ratings. Are you even aware FMCSA has regs for under under 26000 GVWR class or even the over 10k class ?? Simply throwing up a FMCSA.com or states law.com won't get it.
Anyone care to even look at FMCSA rule books terms of definitions of RVWR/GCWR/GAWR part 571.3 or even how your state interpets those definitions. I have. And it didn't come from a website.
Like the odot officer/OHP trooper says, the regs are there now its up to the operator to find out how the state/states you operate in interpets/uses those door tags.

what draws attention to me?? Never had any weigh station problems as I kept everything in order.
Where is this big crack down ?? non commercial is not a weigh station and I used his {officer} example of heavy construction equipment and yes my state is jumping pretty hard on 3500 DRW trucks pulling backhoe as a example.

sure lots of opinions here and so far no one has a web/the smoking gun document to back up any claim. If anyone is really interested in how their state uses door tag info on the trucks we tow/haul with just give your state a call. I have and I'm satified with my experience of actually hauling dot legal and the info those officers gave me.
If anyone is interested in how door tag info is used in liecensing/enforcement and weight checks from current dot operators the uship.com web will give you the how its legally done.
