I get pulled over in a 26000 lb dump every single time I take it out. (gas wells generate law enforcement and in turn, generates capital for townships and state)
I am in a hot bed of law enforcement.
What I can say about this area of PA is that ANY truck without a farm plate is subject to scales and inspection. I am DOT red tagged right now for hauling 27560 gvw in a dump registered at 25000.

Stay away from south western pa with a farm truck that doesn't have PA specific farm plates.
