My state will not weigh a non commercial vehicle for a gross weight to see if your over that states registered weight period. Just axle/tire load numbers.
What my and other states recognize is the truck is registered legally by that state. Its legal registered to be driven every where.
Your weighted registration papers with lets say a 18000 gvw number doesn't mean jack shitz in my state.
Some members from the north east have said their state registers their trucks at a gcw.

Seem odd you guys can'y wrap your head around the fact not all state use a gvw number like your state, just to register a non commercial LDT.
If a state doesn't use any type of weight for registering a non commercial truck what type of weight numbers are used to determine a overloaded vehicle.

I'm still not certain what you are trying to say. It sounded like your initial statement was that the registered weight is only legal in the state in which it is registered. That is not true. If I am legal to 10,000lbs in Maryland, I'm legal to 10,000 lbs in any other state.

I'm not sure what you are trying to say in the message I quoted above. It sounds like you are arguing that not all states register a weight. I'm not sure how that is relevant to a state to does register a weight.

Either way, if you are legally registered in Oklahoma, you are legally registered in Maryland by way of reciprocity.
