For the carriage of liquids in tanks, bulk ore concentrates and live animals in vehicles entering the SNTT before the entry into force of this Regulation, as well as unpackaged food (perishable and non-perishable), the weight tolerance per axle or axle together shall be 8 %. Vehicles carrying containers sealed at customs are exempt from axle control. In both cases, vehicles shall not exceed the maximum permissible laden weight allowed for their configuration. The gross laden weight (GVW) is the authorized gross weight of a vehicle. The VB is the most important thing for trucks transporting goods. The maximum total load weight includes the weight of the empty truck, driver and passengers, fuel and cargo. If a truck passes the stops on the road and its weight exceeds the VB, the driver is penalized and forced to remove the load. Shippers should note that when the weight of trucks, chassis and containers is taken into account, the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight cannot exceed 80,000 pounds (36,287 kg), which is the legal basis limit for truck traffic in the United States. While some states allow higher weight limits, we recommend limiting load weight to the maximum levels listed above.

Shippers must distribute the weight evenly over the container, otherwise it could be exposed to a violation of the weight of the tree. This Article shall apply only to vehicles of categories N3, O3 and O4 and to combinations of vehicles of those categories. and the maximum authorised weight of which does not exceed one tonne. The maximum permissible weight per single axle or assembly of axles is set out in Annex IV. The maximum permissible laden weight shall be 48 tonnes in accordance with Annex IV. After verification of vehicle weights and dimensions, warehouses, storage terminals, port or airport terminals, generators, distributors or shippers of goods shall issue appropriate proof of verification of weights and measures in accordance with the approved format attached to the carrier`s transfer guide, for which they shall issue the above-mentioned certificate and surrender it to the carrier prior to the commencement of the voyage. 1.3 During the period of suspension of the penalty corresponding to any infringement or non-compliance in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1.1 of this article, the formation phase of the verification of masses by axle or axle shall continue, taking into account the provisions of the first additional transitional provision of Supreme Decree No. 1. 002-2016-MTC, SUTRAN will submit, within a maximum period of thirty (30) calendar days after the entry into force of this standard, the detailed schedule of dissemination activities of this Supreme Decree addressed to warehouses, storage terminals, port or airport terminals, producers, donors or shippers of goods, freight forwarders and drivers. Below are the approximate weights of the equipment before considering the weight of the load. that since 2005 the control of weights per axle or set of axles has been suspended, until finally Article 1 of Supreme Decree No.

002-2016-MTC orders the application of the aforementioned infringements P.4, P.5 and P.6 of the table of offences and penalties of point 7 of Annex IV of the NVR until 31. December 2016; That the control of the weight per axle or set of axles is ideal to preserve the national roads in order to avoid premature deterioration due to overweight, since the control of the total weight of the vehicle completes this; DRY WEIGHT OR TARE It is the weight of the vehicle in a vacuum (without driver, passengers or cargo), but with its complete supply of water, fuel, lubricants, spare parts, tools and regulatory accessories. Vehicle. It is obtained by adding the dry weight plus the maximum load that a vehicle is allowed to carry. 20 ft dry in a sliding case: 39,200 lb (17,780 kg) 20 ft dry on three-axle chassis: 44,000 lb (19,960 kg) maximum designated overweight exterior California wheels, RFon-slip chassis 20`: 34,900 lb (15,830 kg) RFon chassis 20` 39,700 lb (18,010 kg)Maximum overweight wheels declared outdoors in California when wearing a clip-on generator Weight maximum total allowed is the sum of the PBEs. A truck with an 8,000-pound (3,628 kg) front PBE and a 20,000-pound (9,071 kg) rear PBE has a gross weight of 28,000 pounds (12,700 kg). The total weight of a truck can be less than the sum of axle numbers to meet legal requirements. The maximum weight a heavy truck can weigh without a special permit for U.S. roads is 80,000 pounds (36,287 kg). In most states, a truck weighing more than 26,000 pounds (11,793 kg) requires a commercial driver`s license.

All trucks have a front and rear PBV and PBE plate or label. The panel is usually located on the door frame or in the cabin. 2. Where the goods come from different producers and/or loading points, the carrier receiving them at a single loading point shall be deemed to be the producer of the cargo and shall therefore be responsible for verifying compliance with the vehicle weight and dimensions limits laid down in this Article. and issue appropriate proof of verification of dimensions and weights, which accompanies the carrier`s reference guides. The maximum permissible laden weight shall be 48 tonnes in accordance with Annex IV. The maximum permissible weight per single axle or assembly of axles is set out in Annex IV. The total weight is determined and determined by the vehicle manufacturer. The manufacturer calculates the final total weight of the truck based on the load capacity of several individual components. The components that affect the weight classification of a truck are: frames, brakes, axles, wheels and tires.

Heavy trucks have a straight steel chassis, manufacturers offer frames of different thicknesses and strengths. A frame that is too heavy reduces the bearing capacity, so the manufacturer tries to reduce the weight of the structure while maintaining the desired load capacity. Braking values are rarely a factor in calculating total weight. Modern truck brakes clearly exceed checkweighing requirements. Likewise, it considers the positive tolerance of the measure, as the number of kilograms that can exceed the permissible total permissible weight of the vehicle during the weighing of the vehicle, the above, to take into account the differences caused by the weight of the driver, the weight of the fuel, excess weight. The maximum permissible weight for this type of “double-articulated vehicle” on the road shall not exceed 66.5 tonnes; the possibility of extending each axle by 1.5 tonnes with a special permit; Maintain a maximum speed of 80 km/h or less, if so ± the speed limit of. Alternatively, the proof of verification of weights and dimensions may be replaced by the weighing certificate, provided that it contains at least the following information: date of commencement of transport, generator data (name or name of company or name of company, RUC, full address), registration plates by vehicle category, vehicle configuration, Permissible gross vehicle weight and weight per axle or axle assembly. Warehouses, bonded terminals, port or airport terminals, producers, donors or shippers of goods are administratively responsible for infringements resulting from their non-compliance, as well as for the verification of the maximum permissible measurements of the goods transported by means of appropriate measuring instruments. The other components that determine the PBV are divided between the components of the front and rear axles.
