My guess, likely varies by state. I was pulled over in California by State Police for a spot check a few years ago. Another rig was there that failed and was not allowed to continue. We were also involved in an accident outside of St Louis, other driver cited, BUT we were escorted to the nearest weigh station, and that information become part of the accident report. For us, from any possible legal, liability, or safety issue perspective, we stay within standard.
