Overloading the truck may affect you legally too. I talk solar with a guy on you tube that decided to move his 6000# trailer 500 miles through the Washington mountains with a Ford Ranger with no WDH, no sway control, no trailer brakes. Like most he was doing fine over loaded until he was changing lanes and someone cut him off, forcing him back over too quickly. The trailer started swaying, then jack knifed, popped off the trucks hitch and rolled on down the highway. He got a huge ticket for not having enough truck for the trailer, no sway control, no brakes and no tow mirrors.
Will he learn, not at all. The accident wasn't his fault, it was the guy that cut him off. He now has a slightly smaller trailer and plans on making the same run, again without any safety gear. He will be fine as long as nothing goes wrong again.
