GCW does matter. There isn't just one rating by which we must comply. There is also gvwr, axle ratings front and rear, tire ratings. Everyone's situation is different but the ratings, if one is concerned about them, must not be exceeded.

Some police only check the gcwr of the truck and trailer regardless of the actual weights. Many of our diesels are rated for those numbers but they aren't the only numbers to be concerned with. In central CA they at times will do a wheel weight check and get folks with actual weights. If involved in a bad wreck, an attorney will be looking at those numbers as well.
