Determining if a Load Exceeds Montana's Legal Limits
How Do You Know the Accurate Size and Weight of a Load?
Accurately determining if a load exceeds Montana's legal limits is essential to ensure a smooth permitting process and prevent delays or safety hazards.
- When measuring the Length of the load, the vehicle should be positioned on level ground. Begin measuring from the front of the truck to the farthest point at the rear of the load, including any overhangs or extensions.
- To measure the width, assess the load at its widest point, including any parts that extend beyond the trailer. It's essential to measure both sides carefully to ensure no areas are overlooked, as width measurements directly impact the need for any possible route restrictions or escort vehicles in tighter spaces.
- For height, measure from the ground up to the tallest point of the secured load. Make sure to account for any potential changes in height due to shifting loads or settling during transit.
- To measure the total weight, use a certified truck scale to ensure accuracy. Weigh the vehicle and load together, ensuring the load is evenly distributed across all axles. Measure the load weight, gross weight, and per axle weight.
