Emergencies & HazardsPregunta 98 de 120
You are scaled at 21,000 pounds on the steer axle and 33,000 pounds on the drive tandem. What is the problem?
a.The single steer axle exceeds the 20,000 pound federal limit and weight must be shifted
b.Nothing is wrong because the gross weight is legal
c.The drive tandem exceeds the tandem limit
d.Both axle groups are over the limit
Explicación
A single axle is limited to 20,000 pounds, so 21,000 is overweight even though the tandem at 33,000 is under the 34,000 pound limit. A legal gross weight does not excuse an overloaded individual axle, and only the steer axle is over here.
