When Dealing with a commercial vehicle gross weight restrictions include weight of vehicle and freight combined so say the truck you were driving has an empty curb weight of 6000 lbs,anything over 4000 lbs of freight would be considered a violation.I work for a trucking company in Pa and that is one of the first things we are instructed to watch for when loading our trailers.You are lucky the cop didnt call the state dot and have you weighed,Plus I dont know exactly what size truck it was But in Pa you dont need a special liscense for a UHaul If it dosent have air brakes
