My understanding is that electric trucks are given an extra 2,000 pound max weight to account for not having the extra weight from fuel.

You’re being downvoted, but you’re right.
Diesel trucks can be weighed at empty and pass, and then add 2k in fuel weight. Electric vehicles can’t remove the “fuel” for weigh in. So, diesel trucks effectively get to travel at 82k, which means we should allow electric trucks to do the same.
