...In my state, the highway patrol could care less what the payload or GVWR number is on that sticker. What they care about is whether the actual weight on the axle is within legal limits, and also, whether I am registered ( plates ) for the correct weight class...
No, I didn't word that very well. They are concerned that we are within the weight limits per axle which has to do with roadway loading. Not the factory stated limit of a given axle of a vehicle.
In other words they could care less about your door sticker.
