So I was under the impression that the max gross you could put on your cab card was equal to the factory ratings of your axles.
According the the GA DOT- MC officer I spoke to yesterday, you are pretty much only limited by tires and bridge law. He said they dont really look at GVW. He said the factory rating is more of a suggestion... lol
That would mean with my 5 axle setup I would be able to permit around 100k in GA, vs the 93.2k factory rating.
Does this track with yall or should this MC enforcer be tested for drugs?

At a MN weight compliance class a while back, the same thing came up. They said as long as your licensed for the weight, plates/cab card, and you have the tires for it... Axle weight rating will never be checked. If you have an accident, or axle failure... no guarantees.
