there is some " reciprocity" but that usaly aplies to small things like surge brakes on a boat trailer (not allowed to be sold here anymore) even trailer weight vs brakes are different in different provences so thats another one that falles under that.. but overloading at least in BC isnt one.. As a BC resident I need a heavy house trailer endorsent on my licence to tow my 5th wheel because of the weight, if you don't have that in your state thats something you can getaway with not having here.. there are probably more like max lenth and such that would be enforced also at the descresion of the officer, but for the most part just drive nice, look level and have a good holliday
That's what I refer to as "tourist reciprocity." It may technically be against the law but if you're not hurting anything most officers will turn a blind eye to your infractions because they don't want you to go home and badmouth their province/state/country. Sure there are some that think they have something to prove, or you just happened to wander in during a supervisor audit and their hands are tied, but by and large they just want you to have a good time and not be a hazard to others.
