My total rig weight is 11780 without me, wife, dog, boat in tow and stuff. Camper weighs 5240. GVW 10000LBS Over by about 2000LBS rounded up. I've never had a problem. I have made some improvements to beef the truck up over the years but as of yet no problems. I was ticketed several years backs for being over weight when it was registered for 10000LBS. The ticket was 180 dollars. Got back to NY and registered it for 15000 lbs and took care of the overweight problem.
Well there you go ^^^^ I guess there had to be one out there. Sounds like you got bit by the tax man, not the safety police. That bites.
It was the Fayetteville NC DOT on I95. It was a city cop not a state. Theirs a big rest stop there. We pulled in to get a breather and he was on us like stink on ____! He weighed all for four corners with a drive on scale. I think it was about 13500LBs. The Ironic part of the whole story is even though I was raised in NYC I was born at fort Bragg in Fayetteville NC. Dad was in the army. Half my family still lives there. I have hated that town since!
