Determining if a Load Exceeds Missouri's Legal Limits
How Do You Measure a Load For Accurate Dimensions and Weight
Determining the dimensions of your load is the first step in obtaining a shipping permit. These details are used for more than just permitting; they are also crucial in determining permit fees, ensuring regulatory compliance, and planning routes. Measure each dimension as follows;
- Length: Place the vehicle on level ground and measure from the front to the end of the load, including any overhangs.
- Width: Measure the load's widest point, accounting for extensions beyond the trailer.
- Height: Measure from ground level to the highest point of the load once it's secured on the trailer, factoring in the combined height of the trailer and cargo. Ensure the tires are properly inflated for accurate pressure.
- Weight: The gross vehicle weight, per-axle weight, and load weight are measured using a certified truck scale, ensuring the weight is evenly distributed across all axles.
