Very interesting. So this confirms that when CHP actually looks at your rig, they're looking at tire ratings vs the gross rear axle rating or actual rear axle load. Did they look at the GVWR sticker on the trailer and that of the truck? It sounds like they at least looked at the GVWR of the trailer, because that's how they must have determined the driver has a DL that was out of class. But they actually used the actual load on the rear axle and the load rating of the rear tires to determine if you were over load.
Everyone always posts about being overweight according to your yellow payload sticker, but folks who've actually been inspected usually state that the inspector looks at the rear axle load compared to the rear tire load ratings.

The Officernever had me open the door to look at the sticker. When they run your plate they can get the vin. Not sure if they are getting information this way. He definitely went right to the ratings sticker on the trailer. I have never seen this go on anywhere else but this area is known for high volumes of people with toys. I have seen quite a few over 40’ toyhaulers being hauled with 3/4 ton srw pick ups.

There you have it. It's the GVWR of the trailer that determines your DL class in California. Over 15k lbs you need a non-commercial class A. 10-15k lbs, you need a trailer endorsement on your DL known as "Restriction 41".
And to determine whether you're overweight on the truck, law enforcement looks at the rear tire load ratings, not the yellow payload sticker.

So so glad I left California. My ADOT registration fees for both RV and Truck were what I paid for truck only in California. That plus the California regulations are over the top.
