Straight Truck GVW by state

Is there a chart/table that lists single vehicle or straight truck (3 axle) maximum GVW by state or does someone know if WA state has something other than 34K + 12K = 46K. I came across something that seems to indicate there is a 40K cap however the bridge formula tables and RCW's mention nothing about this. This states regulations seem so unclear as opposed to BC which shows a simple diagram..............this many axles and this size tires = here is your GVW, WA seems to dance all around it while not giving the answer.

Well, to answer my own question I found a number for Olympia HQ and they confirmed that you just use the combination of number of axles, tire size for the steers and bridge table for drives - which in the case of a 300"WB says 54500 however since WA only allows 34K on the drives and a max of 20K on the steers (with 425 floats) it would fall somewhere in the neighborhood of 46 to 48K depending on choice of steer tires. And they do allow a full 34K on super singles.
