^^^ I think the BC law pertaining to pickup trucks pulling rvs is: If a police officer sees that a pickup is obviously overloaded he can have the overloaded truck weighed and ticketed based on the GVWR of the truck. But, I’d be very surprised if a BC cop would ever ticket a new 2500 series diesel pickup, leveled with air bags, towing an 18000 lb fiver.
Pretty vague. If the BC cop can just "see" it's overloaded and decide to have you weighed. What if the cop was a Ford hater and missed his morning donut?
My question is LEO thinks vehicle is fat, stops and weighs it, and all is good, what happens?
In Mo, if the weight watcher sees a rig that is likely over the weight licensed he can stop and weigh it. I was in court one day, (For my overload) watched several guys forced to pay because of heavy boat/pickup rigs. But the only rating LEO will worry about is tires and if CDL is needed.
