I'm surprised that no axle limits are listed. EVEN IF, a jurisdiction goes strictly by Gross wieght, be it registered or manufacture based. You can still overload an axle, be it manufacture, or road designed max point load, in conjunction with registration as based here in US.
OR, BC knows, even if at or slightly above manufactures gvwr, that truck will never be over the point load limit of around 10-12k lbs for typical tire widths per axle. Assuming, BC follows similar federal/national regs as here in US. Ie 500 lbs per inch width of tire, up to 20k per axle, whichever is lower.
Please note, assuming single rear/front tires as it appears IP's truck has. If duals, here he would get 10-12k on front, most DW rigs will get 18-20k due to increased tire width point load to work with.
