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.

Has anyone ever seen a California registered pick-up truck with a weight sticker on it?
In California, flat bed trucks have a different registrations than pick-ups. If I remember correctly, the various registration fees are higher with a flatbed. As I recall, it makes no difference if it is a 1/2-ton or 1-ton, if it is registered as a flatbed it is supposed to stop at all scales. I think this applies to utility beds also.
Years ago, I had a 1-ton flatbed that was registered as a pick-up. A CHP pulled me over, read my registration and cited me for improper registration. I had to go to DMV after weighing my truck. My fees went up 5 times higher than they were. I then had to go to the Highway Patrol station to have the ticket signed off.
Years later, I gave the flatbed truck to my son-in-law. He re-registered it for hauling his TC. He was told the TC must remain on the truck.
Hopefully, everyone is aware the laws may differ in different states.
