Yes they do !! They will pull you over if they suspect you're overweight regardless if it's a commercial or personal vehicle. They carry portable scales and will weigh you on the side of the road. Lots of guys getting busted for being overweight with a sled or ATV in the box of the truck.
Another big issue up here is emission controls. All equipment that came with the truck when new must be attached and working. I have a 5.3 Vortec in my truck, and I must retain all the emission equipment that came with the original (2003) engine. This means that my 1970 Blazer has catalytic converters as well as EVAP system including the charcoal canister.
