Along with these weight limits, there are bridge laws which restrict the spacing and weight of axle groupings. The longer and the more axles a truck has, the more weight that it can carry. The bridge formula defines this relationship. ...
Axle capacities are limited either by the axle capacity or the legal weight limits, whichever is lower. Performing a weight distribution analysis can achieve the proper axle loadings before a truck is built.
Weight Limits for Instate Travel Any truck operating on an Ohio state or county road must comply with several weight restrictions. If the truck has two axles, it must weigh less than 24,000 pounds if the space between axles is less than 4 feet. If it is greater than 4 feet, it can ...
