Trans 254.09(5)(5) Loads consisting of more than one article, none of which are oversize, may not be transported under the permit. Trans 254.09(6)(6) Vehicles and loads which, when reasonably divided, would not be oversize or overweight, may not be transported under the permit. Trans 254.09(7)(7) Loads which, when reasonably repositioned on the transporting vehicle would not be oversize or overweight, may not be transported under the permit. Trans 254.09(8)(8) Loads consisting of more than one article, one or more of which are oversize, may be transported under a permit only if: Trans 254.09(8)(b)(b) The other articles transported do not cause the vehicle and load to be oversize in any manner differently from the largest single article. Trans 254.09 NoteNote: For example, if a storage tank which is overwidth and overheight (but not overlength) is the single largest article transported, then a toolbox which is not wider, and is not higher, and does not make the vehicle and load overlength or overweight may also be transported.
Trans 254.09 NoteHowever, a beam placed crosswise which makes the overall width wider than the storage tank may not be transported as an additional article. Similarly, a beam placed lengthwise which makes the vehicle and load overlength may not be transported as an additional article.
Trans 254.09 NoteFinally, if the vehicle and load were overweight, then no additional article may be transported.
Trans 254.09(9)(9) The load shall be properly secured and fastened to the transporting vehicle. Trans 254.09(10)(10) Wheels on one side of a transporting vehicle may not carry more than 60% of the total gross load. Trans 254.09 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, December, 1990, No. 420, eff. 1-1-91.
