So, what you have found states that if GVW is under 5500kg, They have little power when it comes to overweight issues.... Load it if u got it????? as long as sticker on truck is undeer 5500kg the DOT cant do anything...
What about RCMP calling it "unsafe vehicle"?? Maybe thats how they get around the impound laws, DOT cant but RCMP can with the 'Unsafe Vehicle" label.....
If thats the case then I'm going to print this off so i can show the Friendly DOT next time i get nailed going sledding lol!!! I've been on the hunt for B.c Laws and such, but was unsuccessful...

I'm not sure what you mean by CAT Scale, I went to the Saskatchewan scales that I was Talking about earlier in the post that was Closed down... They replaced the scales and re-opened.... So, Naturally I figured they would be the closest to being correct.... BUT, could only weigh one axle at a time
thats when I got the 3590kg number... Or 7898lbs

Wasn't Cat Scales then. You can weight the entire rig on Cat Scales at one time. Accuracy is very important with them, so I would try to find a Cat certified scale close to you. That would help alleviate your issues about accuracy anyway. At least it would if it was my rig.
I thank you, I ended up searching one CAT Scale that is 4 hours away.... Can anyone say ROADTRIP???

I hope you are kidding. If you have an accident doing something like that, you might as well bend over and be prepared for the pitchfork without the spit.
Even if you weren't worried about what your truck could handle mechanically, legally you would be in trouble. If you are hauling 30k, I don't know of another state that isn't going to want you to jump through more hoops unless it fits in one of the 4 normal exceptions that are usually consistent with all the states (with some variation).
Even if you have no issues for a few times, it doesn't mean that you aren't stressing your truck and decreasing engine longevity. Some breakdowns don't happen overnight, they take time.

No Quarrys around my parts, as for the very few remaining Grain Elevators... Only one closest to me has an axle scale, not full length

I find it hard to believe that there is nowhere near you with a truck scale. If there is a grain elevator that is weighing single axles at a time they better not be using that for commerce....
