Determining if a Load Exceeds Legal Size and Weight Limits in Arkansas
How To Know A Load Needs Shipping Permits in Arkansas
An oversized load should be measured with the vehicle in a straight line and on level ground for accurate measurements. The overall length is the sum of the length of the truck plus that of the trailer plus any overhangs that extend at either end. The overall width is measured at the widest part of the load, not the vehicle or trailer. The width of the trailer might be smaller if the load extends beyond the sides. The combined height of a load is determined by adding the height of the load to that of the trailer. A 5-foot-high trailer carrying a 20-foot trailer will have a 25-foot combined height. A commercial or truck scale is used to obtain the most accurate results when weighing an oversized load. Three different types of weights may be required for a permit application:
- Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): The total weight of the vehicle, trailer, and load combined.
- Axle Weight: This refers to the weight distribution over each axle.
- Load Weight: This is the weight of the cargo or load itself, excluding the weight of the vehicle and trailer.
