F350 work trucks get yank all the time at the NJ / Pa. Coming into PA from the Jersey TPK extension at the toll booths on the right hand side right behind the toll booths sits the DOT mobile units. Anything tagged 10,000 lbs or more gets yanked. Only if they are enforcing it for the day.
I can tell you for a fact, in Florida I'm been pulled over in a rental cargo van for passing the scales. I just played dumb and got a warning. Florida and Virginia have posted signs "any vehicle over 5 tons must pass thru the scales, public, commercial or private.

 

I don't recall any signs like that in this area but maybe.

Here is the list for the states weighing station rules. I was wrong about Virgina, it's any vehicle over 7500 lbs. I'm alway over 10k so I always stop

Welcome to the nanny state. Communism here we come

 

The AAA list uses 'unlawful' in the description for many states...but does not define what exactly is considered 'unlawful'.

Many of the states also list gross vehicle weight, using VA as an example, it notes a gross vehicle weight of 7500lb. So a max tow EB has to stop but a non max-tow does not? (GVWR 7800 vs GVWR 7350)?

Yup, clear as mud.

 

If your empty. But then again the rule out here is if your registered combination 26k and the road is limited to 10 ton you can't drive down it with permits
