In effect, the formula reduces the legal weight limit for shorter trucks with fewer axles (see table below). For example, a 25-foot (7.6 m) three-axle dump truck would have a gross weight limit of 54,500 pounds (24,700 kg), instead of 80,000 pounds (36,000 kg), which is the standard weight limit for 63-foot (19.2 m) five-axle tractor-trailer.

In the United States, an oversize load is a vehicle and/or load that is wider than 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m). Each individual state has different requirements regarding height and length (most states are 13 ft 6 in or 4.11 m tall), and a driver must purchase a permit for each state he/she will be traveling through.

A divisible load is a load which can be easily divided into smaller parts, such as products that are shipped on pallets, automobiles or grains.
The truck speed limit was increased from 55 to 65 mph (89 to 105 km/h) for consistency with the automobile limits. Enforcement of truck weight and speed limits on parallel highways was increased, and truck toll rates were lowered in a trial. The speed limit increase took effect on September 8, 2004. [22] Exit 7B opened on November 30, 2004.
In the United States, such scales are used primarily as a self-check for weight compliance. Thus the operator can use the scale to determine the weight of the vehicle as it is loaded. [2] This enables the operator to avoid penalties by complying with state weight laws, while still transporting the maximum allowable weight.
