Unless I'm reading this wrong, isn't that what Jim said? In other words, the FMCSA says that the max gvw for a commercial truck is 80K lb, but a State is free to enforce a higher weight than that - just not a lower weight. According to this link, the max GVW's in the US vary from 80 K lb to unlimited.

Nope. In IL the max weight on roads is 73,280 except for designated highways which can be up to 80,000. That includes interstates and most state highways.
I'm sure as heck not going to get into Class I, II, and III level highways as it doesn't have anything to do with the OP's original question.
