I am impress Reddog.
When I stop at scales and went to the office asking about definition of pickup - the officer took good 10 minutes of digging in the books to find me base definition of pickup.
BTW my friend in Bay Area owns 26,000 lb crane with flatbed under for cargo carrying.
He doesn't drive it very often as his contracts don't call for such heavy equipment often, but he never pulls to weigh station.
One time he got pulled over after avoiding scales and he had 10,000lb pump on the bed, but officers let him go.
