Weight Limits

Can someone explain to me why they have these limits and how they are determined?

https://newjobs4you.com/blogs/trucking-law/weight-limits-for-trucks/

I mean, I get that they don’t want us to damage the roads or cause accidents, but some of these rules seem too complicated and unfair. Like, why do we have to follow the federal bridge formula and the state axle limits? Seems like they just want to make our lives harder. Anyone else feel the same way?

at least the roads won’t collapse under us.

Gotta stay on top of it, though, or risk some hefty fines

They’re there to keep the roads and bridges from falling apart under our rigs

if you are over the limit, they slap you with a huge fine.

I think all of these rules are the way to squeeze more money

The federal bridge formula is supposed to prevent overloading the bridges, but it’s so complicated that you need a calculator to figure it out.

These limits are a pain in the ass.

As long as we are under the gross weight limit, we should be good to go.
