Blocks 9(e) through 9(h) -Enter vehicle's height, width, length, and
weight (see Figure 4-4).
Block 10(e) through 10(h) -Enter physical dimensions of load using
units of inches and pounds in columns 10(e) through 10(g). Enter the
weight of the load in column 10(h); if there is no load, enter
"NONE."
Block 11(e) -To complete the overall height, select the appropriate
method below (all entries must be in inches):
If only prime movers without towed equipment or load, transfer
the largest number entry made in block 9(e).
If entries were made in blocks 9C(e), 9E(e), or 10(e), compute
the overall height by adding the load height to the bed
(loading surface) of the truck or trailer, as appropriate. If
this summation is greater than the prime mover or trailer
overall height, enter the summation in block 11(e).
If the
summation is less than the prime mover or trailer height,
enter the greater overall height of the prime mover or
trailer, as appropriate.
Block 11(f) -The overall width will be the greater number of the
prime mover or trailer width unless the load width in block 10(f) is
greater. If 10(f) is greater, enter this amount in block 11(f) and
enter the amount of overhang in Blocks 13(c) and (d). (All entries
must be in inches.)
Block 11(g) - Enter the overall length.
You must add the combined
length of the prime mover and trailer, if appropriate, and any
coupling overhang (space between the truck and trailer).
In Figure 4-3, the overall length is not the sum of Blocks 9B(e) and
9D(e) because you must subtract the coupling overhang.
You may
determine the amount of coupling overhang by subtracting the distance
from the center of the fifth wheel to the rear extremity of the
tractor, plus the distance from the center of the kingpin to the
forward extremity of the semitrailer from the combined overall length
of the tractor plus the semitrailer. All entries must be in inches.
Block 11(h) - Enter the summation of the prime mover plus trailer,
plus cargo, as appropriate. All entries must be in inches.
