I did not know that.
I'm not questioning the validity of your statement, just curious where I can ready that info - what's the RCW that makes the statement about following the posted "truck" speed limit when the vehicle is over 10k?
I do not know the rcw off the top of my head, BUT talking to many cveo, leo's from the SP, they have ALL told me this is true from the over 10K total. Most of what I have learned is from a couple of classes taught by CVEO's.
The chain up requirements is from a form I got many years ago via the SP office in North Bend Wa, when I was starting to pull my TT to snoqualmie summit. I have seen similar forms in Or, Id, and CA.
IIRC rcw 45.xxxxx is the weight law info.

Title 46 of the RCWs deals with motor vehicles. Here is the link for the RCW limiting 10K+ lb vehicle speed. Note this also applies to vehicle combinations over 10K lbs.
