Well, first time this has come up......
There are those that believe putting in the right amount of air for the given load and those that believe the max pressure is the ons size fits all option.
The answer to the OPs question is you "can" run max sidewall psi in all 4 tires empty or loaded and no harm will come of it, save for a rougher than necessary ride and an easier loss of traction in conditions that approach the edge of traction.
I prefer to adjust air for the load and with OE size tires on a HD diesel pickup, that's about 60psi front /40 rear giver take for an empty truck.
