Not 100% sure but I know in Oregon I have seen a lot of "Commercial" trucks (Still with 3 axles.) hauling horse trailers with living quarters and have "Not for Hire" instead of GVW stickers and they drive right past the scales. I know talking with scale master at local state weigh station, he said he doesn't particularly like having vehicles pull in to get weighed that aren't company freight hauling vehicles. I asked him because my service truck by the letter of the law was over 26,000 lbs. and air brakes and should get weighed. He asked me to not stop as it slows things down for him at the scale worrying about the company freight trucks that regularly are doing illegal things or equipment that is unsafe. I look at that as a general understanding of what his job really is... Not "policing" honest RV people. Just make sure your vehicle is in safe operating condition and not overweight on any axle and doesn't look like a freight hauler and you should be fine.
