Determining if Your Load Exceeds Massachusetts Limits
How Do You Measure The Size and Weight of an a Load?
Accurate measurements are essential for determining if your load exceeds Massachusetts' legal limits. The measurements indicated in the permit should be correct; failure to do so might incur significant penalties and fines. When measuring a load, use the correct tools for accuracy. Measure each dimension as follows;
- To measure length, ensure the vehicle is level, and measure from the front to the end of the load, including any overhangs.
- Measure the width at the load's widest point, taking into account any extensions beyond the trailer.
- Measure the height from the ground to the load's tallest point. The overall height includes both the trailer height and the load height.
- Weigh the loaded vehicle on a certified truck scale to confirm the total weight and verify that it's evenly distributed. Measure and record the gross weight, the per-axle weight, and the load weight.
