Determining if a Load Exceeds Virginia's Legal Limits
In Virginia, precise measurements are vital for transporting oversized and overweight loads, as the state's roads, bridges, and tunnels have strict compliance requirements. Each dimension should be carefully measured:
- Length: Measure from the vehicle's front end to the farthest point of the load, factoring in any overhang. Accurate length measurements are essential for avoiding restrictions on Virginia's interstates, bridges, and densely populated areas.
- Width: Measure across the load's widest point, considering any protruding parts. Proper width measurements help ensure smooth travel through narrow lanes, tight roadways, and underpasses.
- Height: Measure from ground level to the highest point of the secured load, including the trailer and cargo height. Accurate height measurements are critical to avoid issues with low-clearance bridges, overpasses, and tunnels across Virginia.
- Weight: Using a certified scale guarantees weight accuracy, essential to prevent infrastructure damage and ensure compliance with Virginia's weight distribution rules.
