A shipper offers a 48,000 lb load but your driver's truck has a tare weight of 34,000 lbs. The legal gross vehicle weight limit is 80,000 lbs. Can the driver legally haul this load?
-
A
Yes, because 48,000 + 34,000 = 82,000 which is under the limit
-
B
No, because 48,000 + 34,000 = 82,000 which exceeds the 80,000 lb limit
-
C
Yes, because the load alone is under 80,000 lbs
-
D
No, because any load over 40,000 lbs requires a permit
