To accurately check your loads at

the public scale, the vehicle and

trailer should be fully loaded, and all

occupants should stay in the vehicle

while the attendant watches the

scale.

Check the rear gross axle weight.

Limit: 3,175 lbs (1,440 kg)

If you cannot weigh the rear axle

directly, you can calculate the rear

gross axle weight by subtracting

the weight in step 1 from the

weight in step 2.

Remember, maximum gross

combined weight should be

decreased 2 % for every 1,000 feet

(305 meters) of elevation.

Check the front gross axle weight.
