California beside GVW has special stickers for GCVW, who are big numbers displaed on side of the vehicles.
I've seen F450 with 40,000lb stickers. Usually those with double-decker trailer hauling 5 cars on it.
I heard that you can re-register your truck at higher GVW in any state (if you are willing to pay higher fees) but never heard about anybody willingly doing so.
That said my 1999 F450 for several years was registered under 8800lb what was its empty weight. It took 7 years when starved for cash state send revenue seekers to catch the under registered truck and bring more money.
I've got pulled over when hauling a tractor, where front bucket was sticking over tailgate.
Sure did not look like 8800lb vehicle.
Still a friendly reminder. When you have commercially registered truck, regardless if you have TC on it, or a buldozer - you have obligation to drive via scales in states that require.
Never have seen Highway Patrol chasing camper, but the times might come.
