Actually, in Wa st, EVEN if pulling for personal pleasure, one must stay under the FBL's, have a high enough paid for license. Follow the truck speed limit of 60 mph even if it is legal to 70 for cars, assuming over 10K in any way shape or form. Need to chain up when signs say to do so over 10K. This will also include those under 10K, but paid for license is over 10K, or the max sum of truck and trailer can be over 10K........You do not need to go to scales, make up a log book etc. BUT, from a weight perspective and a few other things, yes one must follow the same rules regs etc.

Correct.
Everyone is subject to the weight limits. The weigh limits do not specify if someone is hauling commercially or private individual. They apply to every vehicle on the roadway. Think about the reason for the weight laws. The weight limits are in place to protect road surfaces. Doesn't matter who is hauling the weight, either commercially or private individual.
If you buy a D-10 CAT weight laws don't apply just to the trucker who delivers your D-10. If you then decide to load it on a trailer and move it to another location that D-10 is going to weight the same.
People spouting off what they think weight laws involve really ought to stop listening to the fat guy in a flannel shirt around the campfire. They need to read the law before the pipe in and show they really don't know what they're talking about. They don't know enough about the topic to realize how silly they look. Basic weight law class was 40 hours. If a person hasn't actually studied the law then please quit giving their opinion or popping off with what they think because they simply don't know and it just spreads erroneous information.
