Nineback,
Prudence is one thing, legal is another. Just about any rig with.a single due Axelrod is legal to 20,000 on that Axel. Not saying smart in the case of most 35 series trucks......
A sing tire pickup with typically 9-12" tires, will be over weight in the 9,000-12,000 lb range. Again, the weight cops enforce max load the road can handle, is designed for etc. They do not enforce manufacture warranty performance specs.
I've been pled over in most with 17000-19000 on manufacture capacity of 12000 on rear axel, no over weight ticket, as y tire widths totaled more than 20000, I was under 20000, and paid for licence was higher than I weighed. I was paying my.share of road tax for the.damage I was doing to the road. That is what is enforced!

He has 12000 pounds on his rear axle? I think my Ram has a 9750 lb RAWR. If I am understanding this correctly it sure seems like he is past the point of prudence.

This is how it works. My Sons friend in TX was pulled over in his Chevy Dually. He was licensed for 12K. He received a ticket for $1,200 for being 5K over his LICENSED weight. Nothing was mentioned about his rear axle or tire capacity even tho his 4 rear tires don't add up to the scaled RAW. OUCH!!!
He told my Son "Don't mess with Texas" !

I've been pulled over at 150 percent of manufacture give, I have yet to get an overweight ticket as I was under paid for license weight.

If you are over on your rear axle then I think that would be reason for concern if you were ever checked. I understand the "checkers" look at tire ratings and axle ratings.

the way things are going in Ma I wont be sureprised when they require people to have their RV's inspected along with the truck. Once they start doing that do you think it is so far away that they start weighing them? I almost got failed this year because my truck didn't have wheel chocks.
As long as you have the tonnage to cover the weight on your 4 or 6 tires you will be fine.
I need 16K to be "legal" with my actual scale weight. I am under FAWR slightly over RAWR and under my GCWR.
