Determining if a Load Exceeds Legal Size and Weight Limits in Georgia
How Do You Measure the Size and Weight of an Oversize/Overweight Load
When preparing to move an oversize or overweight load in Georgia, it's essential to measure the load accurately. For accuracy, the vehicle should be on level ground and in a straight line. To measure the overall length, add the length of the truck, trailer, and any overhangs extending from either end. The overall width should be measured at the widest point of the load, not the truck or trailer. The overall height is the combined height of the trailer and load. For example, if your trailer is 5 feet high and your load is 15 feet, the combined height would be 20 feet.
A commercial vehicle or truck scale should be used for the most accurate results when weighing the load. Three different weight measurements are often required for permit applications:
- Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): The total weight of the vehicle, trailer, and load.
- Axle Weight: The weight distributed across each axle.
- Load Weight: The weight of the cargo itself, excluding the vehicle and trailer.
