I am taxed at roughly 10,000 lbs but allowed to weigh as much as 15,000. I can not weigh more than 14,000 lbs without being illegal however. A classic case of one government department not consulting with another. Now I am wondering what the license fee/tax is based on, I bet it's the phony 15,000. I think I need to make some phone calls.

I just got off the phone with my insurance agent and surprise surprise, yes the fees are based on the 150% number.
