If the truck comes from the factory with a 10,000 pound rating, then again your legally bound to stay within the limits. Your trying to twist my response and I’m not here to argue. My response was in my opinion as fair and honest as anyone else here. I’m done, have fun doing as you please and I hope I never have to share the highway with you weather your in your OTR truck or pulling your RV.
That's a shame. I've picked up many stranded people and given free rides to the repair shop. I'm in Modesto several times a week. If you ever break down in the Central Valley please hold up a sign so I know its you, and I'll drive right by.

His question was based on being overweight on a derated trailer. In his scenario, I'd be about 2000 over the GVWR of the derated trailer and could be outside a class C license limit.

I think this is an unfortunate issue in these forums. The laws are different in each state and what goes here might not fly over there.

But I will give you props for answering my questions from a "California point of view."

Since the OP states his question has been answered and the thread has been, at best contentious, it's closed to further comment.
