How to Determine if a Load Exceeds Legal Dimensions
How Do You Measure the Size and Weight of an Oversize/Overweight Load?
The dimensions of a load define the permit required. The permits might cost more or take longer to be approved, depending on the size of the oversize/overweight load. The details provided during the permit application must be accurate to comply with the law and ensure road safety. The measuring tools used should be certified and of high quality to minimize errors. The vehicle should be straight and on level ground during measuring. The overall length refers to the sum of the lengths of the truck, trailer, and any overhangs on both ends. Measure the width at the widest point of the vehicle load combination and the overall height with the load loaded on the trailer. It is the sum of the trailer height and that of the load. For example, a 6-foot-high trailer hauling a 10-foot-high load will have a height of 16 feet. Speak to us for oversize and overweight permits in Delaware.
