Maximum Legal Weight Limit Chart
 
If an axle, axle group or gross weight exceeds the charted legal weight allowance, the vehicle configuration would require a hauling permit based on weight.
 
To find your legal gross weight allowance:
  1. Measure "L" - the distance from the center of the first axle to the center of the last axle.
  2. Count the number of axles within "L" (including the first and last axle).
  3. Using the chart below, find where "L" and the number of axles meet. This is the legal gross weight allowance. (To find your legal axle group weight allowance, "L" is the distance from the center of the first axle to the center of the last axle in the group.)

Maximum Routine Weight Limit Chart
 
If any individual axle, axle group or gross weight exceeds the charted routine weight allowance, the vehicle configuration would be considered Super Load based on weight and may undergo additional analysis which may include a VDOT Structure and Bridge Engineering review.
 
To find your routine gross weight allowance:
  1. Measure "L" - the distance from the center of the first axle to the center of the last axle.
  2. Count the number of axles within "L" (including the first and last axle).
  3. Using the chart below, find where "L" and the number of axles meet. This is the routine gross weight allowance. (To find your routine axle group weight allowance, "L" is the distance from the center of the first axle to the center of the last axle in the group.)
