dot compliance

My last move was done by me and me alone. I used 5 one way trucks and trips to get it all moved.
I used 3 different moving truck companies. They all have the same markings of GVW Less Than 26,001 on their biggest truck which I rented each time. Now on one load with a Ryder truck when I moved my shop equipment I am fairly sure the truck was well over the 26,001 GVW but that was by my choice and not the rental company.
That is the way the companies get away with it is with their marking and if the customer overloads it that is the customers problem and not the rental companies.
I crossed 4 states and did not stop any of the weigh stations and did get by.
