How to Determine if a Load Exceeds Kansas's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure Oversize/Overweight Loads?
When preparing for your Kansas oversize/overweight load transport, accurately measuring your load is crucial to avoid delays or penalties. Incorrect measurements on permits are against the law and endanger the load and other motorists on the road. When measuring a load, use quality measuring tools for accuracy. Here's how each dimension should be measured:
- Overall Length: To determine this, add the lengths of the truck, trailer, and any overhangs that protrude on the front and back.
- Width: Measure the widest point of the vehicle or the load.
- Height: This includes the total height of the trailer and the load once it is fully loaded.
- Weight: Weigh the vehicle when fully loaded and with the load evenly distributed across the trailer.
Getting these measurements right ensures a smooth permitting process and avoids surprises such as fines, penalties, or delays.
