If you are over GVWR sticker and something bad happens, really bad, and during the accident investigation they discover that, you will have to take out a second mortgage to pay all of the fines and court costs........
Ask the dealer to order you a new placard indicating the 10,800 GVWR. I know what the final answer will be! "Sorry we found that your current placard is correct!" Chris

I asked my State Farm agent and he asked the regional adjuster about this "myth" (as I call it) and the adjuster responded with a laugh. Then he said "there is know way we will scoop up the mess and weigh it."
I've read a lots comments about this scare tactic and the claims but no one has yet provided any proof.

I have heard this myth many times. I ask them to show me where it actually happened, and to date, not one has. Can you?
post a link to a case, please. Otherwise, please stop this myth.
Yes, it is a myth. Folks around here like to quote tests showing that 50% of us are overloaded. If that's true, half the accidents we have would not be covered by our insurance. Just doesn't make sense.
Besides, accident insurance is intended to cover us when we make mistakes. That is why they call it accident insurance. Being over weight is an example of a mistake that any of us might make. It might not be too wise to post online that you know about the overload situation. That might put you in the negligent category.
Well since most all civil cases are closed for a reason I'll just throw this link out there. Don't shoot the messenger. 99% of the time your insurance will cover it and THEN drop you. Hope your not the 1% who cheeped out on coverage.
