In CA with a 1T where do you display your weight sticker?
Seems to be required on these newer pickups with a GVW greater than 11,500. They want you to stick it to the door on either side but it is ugly. Also they want you to stop at scales.

Lot of laws was in force decades ago, but not enforced.
I bought my F450 flatbed about 2004. At the time it was registered at 9000lb its own weight.
Than one time I got pulled over having 9,000 lb forklift on it and they send me to DMV for stickers. Truck was 8 years old at the time.
So then they ask me how much trailers I am planning to haul. Since I had equipment trailer, I ended up with 30,000 lb stickers where weigh fee alone was in range of $600.
Bare in mind that all pickups have obligation to run via DOT scales.
Lot of those scales do have "no pickups" sign, but I hope you know definition of pickup in California?
Bottom line, nobody did worry about those things 10 years ago when life was good, but now when all budgets are running into red, the supervisors convert law enforcement officers into revenue seekers and we all will have to pay sooner or later.
Did you notice that police cruisers in CA no longer have "to serve and protect" signs on them?
