That’s happened down near Houston, where I live as well. The gal plays 200 questions. I ve found that simply leaving and coming back during her lunch break, I usually find a different lady to help me, and life is so much smoother. I don’t know how it works in other states, but as a general rule here, if you re not stacked up to the hilt with firewood or scrap metal, most officers couldn’t care less what your weight rating is. And yes, I have “fudged” the gross a smidge to get under the 26,000lb limit on so called cdl vehicles being used exclusively in an unloaded manner simply as pleasure craft.
