Greatest axle load: 9,044 lbs (5-axle combination axle weight)
During your review, you find that--
the height of the tractor-trailer combination (including the
load) is 108.3 inches. This is less than the allowable height
in Virginia of 13 feet, 6 inches (162 inches).
the width of the tractor-trailer combination (including the
load) is 98.3 inches.
This exceeds the allowable width in
Virginia of 96 inches.
the length of the tractor-trailer combination is 544 inches.
This is less than the maximum combined length allowed in
Virginia of 55 feet (660 inches).
the gross weight (combined weight of tractor-trailer and load)
is 37,800 pounds. This is less than the maximum gross weight
allowed in Virginia of 76,000 pounds for a 5-axle combination
axle weight.
the greatest axle weight is 9,044 pounds which is less than
the maximum allowable axle weight in Virginia of 34,000 pounds
for a tractor vehicle.
You conclude that a request for a special hauling permit is required
because the tractor-trailer combination (including load) exceeds the
allowable width, even though all other factors are within allowable
limits.
