W = 500 ((L X N)/(N-1) + (12 X N) + 36)
|
Where W equals overall gross weight on any group of two or more consecutive axles to the nearest 500 pounds, L equals distance in feet from the center of the foremost axle to the center of the rearmost axle of any group of two or more consecutive axles, and N equals number of axles in group under consideration, except that two consecutive sets of tandem axles may carry a gross load not to exceed 34,000 pounds each, provided that the overall distance between the first and last axles of such consecutive sets of tandem axles is 36 feet or more. For any vehicle or combination of vehicles having a total gross weight of 71,000 pounds or greater, this Subsection K(2) shall apply to determine maximum gross weight which is permitted hereunder, subject to the provisions of the section of this chapter governing maximum vehicle gross weights.
