my neighbor lady is a hotshoter with a 3500 DRW flatbed and she gave me some numbers for FMCSA regs 571.110 for under 10k tires/wheels/GAWR/door placards and FMCSA reg 571.120 for over 10000 lbs with the same regs and definitions if any one is interested (federal motor vehicle safety standards). We also have the FMCSA 571.3 regs for definitions, GAWR/GVWR/GCWR, that I mentioned in above post. Keep in mind FMCSA regs are a recommendation for our states BUT states are required to be equal or better those regs. These regs were given to her from other commercial operators on those webs I mentioned.
once again I'll say this one more time, check with your state for their interpetation of the new FMCSA regs.
This may tie in to why my tag office refused to give a uprate GVWR indorsment for my wifes '06 chev 1500 CC, we just bought. They say new state regs don't permit uprate GVWR indorsment unless I register the truck for commercial use. Her '06 trucks new title has no GVWR numbers on the line for GVWR anymore. That also ties in with my conservation with that OHP troop captain when he mentioned we use the truck GVWR from the door tag.

edit: see federal motor vehicle safety standards part 49 sect 567.4 and 567.5 for door placard FMCSA 571 refers to.
