That's the thing about federal law. Every one thinks it is the final word. Not true. The federal law is to set a minimum and was set up to do away with some states setting below average standards like 78,000 gross ect. thus allowing a truck to meet one standard and travel coast to coast.
A lot of states have laws that allow more than the federal minimums like Florida's weight on a single axel with duels. Federal is 20,000; Florida is some thing like 24,000. A lot of north west states have larger weight allowances also.
As you can see from the chart below our state allows 15,000 on a 11" steer axle. We also allow 34,000 on a tandem axel with duels on interstate but it goes up to 36,000 on non interstate roads.
