Bridge laws

Can I legally transport 80K gross if I only am good for 66K by the bridge law as long as im not crossing a bridge??

in NC no. when you are on the interstate you must meet bridge law. off interstate you get a 10% tolerance but if you go over it you will be fined like your on the interstate . but each state is different

Bridge formulas for trucks refer to the distance between the axles and not the idea of crossing bridges.
