Man that is very strange... you say California is tougher, I have never, I mean ever been stopped or even looked twice upon. They sale the scales are for "Trucks" and I don't think they consider a pickup a truck. The truck I tow with is the one in my sig, and the trailer I generally use is a 20' 14,000 GVWR trailer, usually my total GVCW is in the 20-23K range. I have been through some of the more agressive agricultural check points (namely the crossing from nevada on I80) hauling 5 ton of hay on the trailer, and all I tell them is that I am hauling hay from my ranch in Oregon to my ranch in california. Do this very often going through Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Utah, California. Those are the only states I can speak for, but for none of them have I ever stopped in a scale. Only Ag checkpoints. I agree that they will look at you much more if you have signs or any commercial insignia, even a flatbed will make you suspicious. But other than that, I would say haul away and only stop if you are spoken to. My family owned a big trucking business here in cali, and I got my information reguarding this through HP officers that we dealt with while trucking.
