Depends on the truck, we used to run ours about 2 ton over, and just drop an envelope into the police station on our route every month. 5 ton over on a 6 wheeler and you would just be blowing tyre all the time, not really worth it.
10 wheelers are about 15 ton I think, my borther-in-law runs his a bit over but not much as its just too costly in wear and tear.
A lot of the loads you see here are'nt actually overweight, it's just how they are loaded thats the problem, wrong place, to tall ect Hay is a good example, it virtually imposible to overload weight wise with hay, but you still get people trying to get to the limit by just going taller/wider (both also ilegal)
