The license plate for the truck has to cover the total weight of every thing. The truck; trailer; cargo; everything. Its gets real tricky because every state has its own rules and even if it has a rule it may or may not be enforced. Such as my state..... Our law reads every thing one ton and above must stop at a scale. The rule is not enforced though with all the people buying one ton pickups lately. A lot of states set it as commercial has to stop. This is why you can often see large U-Haul trucks blow by the scales without a second thought. But on the other hand I have seen the weight masters chase down a 1/2 ton pickup that was obviously over weight. Our state allows 650 lbs per inch of tire. As long as your tag is current and of the correct size and you can prove you own everything truck; trailer; load; I would stop. It only takes a few seconds and most times they will just flag you on. May save you the displeasure of making them mad and being chased down. Now if you get over 26,000 lbs that would be a different ball game.
