I personally didn't have to do any of that with my truck, 47 chevy 2 ton. I just registered it...with that being said, my Papa did have it on non-op so I just had to pay a registration fee of $172. I doubt he had to do any of that run around with declaring weights because he isn't the sort of person to put up with crap like that. I did have to have a commercial vehicle license plate number, something about the way the plate is numbered. I will also have to stop at all scale, loaded or not, but since I can only go 45 mph I cant go on any roads with a scale anyway. I can only have a cgw of 10k but I have a 2 ton truck that is registered at 4800 so I'm safe (even though it actually weighs more than that but they never asked me about weights only told me my limit). Every dmv office is crazy in their own way, but I figured I would share my own experience.
