On interstate system weights are set by Federal regulations and 23 CFR 658.17 (f) says.....Except as provided herein, States may not enforce on the Interstate System weight limits of less 20,000 lbs. on single axle, 34000 lbs. om a tandem axle, or the weights derived from the bridge formula, up to a maximum of 80,000 lbs., including all enforcement tolerances.
