And I'll bet it is there as it is here, it your loaded weight on any axle exceeds the mfg. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and or you exceed the mfg. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) you will get a ticket. Then you will have to get some of your load off before they will let you get back on the road (Shut-down). If it is possible to adjust your load to get the weight distributed more evenly across the axles and get it into legal territory they might let you do that without giving you a ticket, but its their call on that. You would still have to be under the max. GVWR. I have even seen them look at the load rating of the tires to see if you are exceeding that per tire.

They will stack violations on top of violations. It has become a revenue generating tool and the fines are sky-high for violations of this sort.
