Determining if Your Load Exceeds Michigan Limits
How To Know the Accurate Size and Weight of a Load When Applying For Permits
Precise measurements are essential for obtaining the proper shipping permits in Michigan. The cost of permits and many other regulations depend on the dimensions and weight of the load. Having incorrect dimensions on your permit is against the law and can result in fines and penalties. When measuring the load, follow the steps below;
- Length: Position the vehicle on level ground and measure from the front of the truck to the end of the load, including any overhangs on both ends.
- Width: Measure the load’s widest point, including extensions beyond the trailer.
- Height: Measure from the ground to the load’s highest point, accounting for trailer and cargo heights. For best results, the load should be placed on the trailer.
- Weight: Three weight categories are required for permitting: the gross vehicle weight, the load weight, and the per-axle weight. Use a certified truck scale to weigh the vehicle and confirm even weight distribution across all axles.
