27,000# GCVW, is that pushin it?

Hey I just signed up the the TDR and am going to pick up my new 3500 Tomarrow if all goes well, ordered it back in September.

Any way this is what I want to do, I want to haul to Dodge off-road trucks around the country. The R/C comes in at 5500# and the W350 truck is 7000#. The new dually with be about 7500#. I am guessing a 36' gooseneck might be around 6000#? So that makes a total of 26,000#. And I imagine you will have another 1000# for passengers and equipment. So now I am up to 27,000# in a truck rated for 23,000.

What do you heavy haulers out their think, will the law leave me alone or be out to get me?
