First its dang hard to get ANY solid answers. Talk to 4 DOT Commercial inspectors and get 3 answers. (and a fight)
It is true there are many variables. (at least in MN) Are you hauling for hire? within 150 miles of the farm? Is hauling the PRIMARY reason you are hired? (if you are not owner) etc.etc.etc
I go well over 26k total load. (remember truck is over 8k alone) Trailer has axles for 21k. The only "issues" I have ever had a repeateable comment on is axle/tire weight limits, the max weight per sq in of tire that is in contact with road. if trailer is lic for weight. (they don't care if your trailer only has axles for 10k you can lic it for 15k and they will be happy to take the money)
