Four new “how-to” videos are available from Minnesota LTAP. The informational videos are
used in Truck-Weight Educational Program training workshops.
Here are the four videos:
- How to Measure a Truck. Understand how to correctly weigh your truck following Minnesota road regulations.
- Identifying Axles. Learn how to accurately identify all axles by their type—such as single, tandem, or tridem—to help you understand the weight limits chart.
- Tire Size and Tire Rating. Vehicle weight limits are regulated by the positioning and number of tires, wheels, and axles. This video explains how to determine the weight limitations of each axle of your vehicle and how to use the axle weight limit chart to determine if you are within the weight limitations.
- Variable Axles. Learn the basics of variable load axles: what they are used for, how to use them, and rules around them.
Workshops are scheduled throughout the year. Other resources on the Truck-Weight website include weight charts and county weight information.
