A new video tutorial explains how to use the Minnesota Truck Weight Calculator, which provides a convenient way to determine the maximum legal weight that any set of axles on a vehicle/vehicle combination may carry on Minnesota highways.
The allowable weight on a vehicle/vehicle combination may increase by either adding additional axles or by increasing the distance between axles. The formula for the calculator is a weight-to-length ratio.
Currently, the calculator will provide you with information based on legal weight. Future calculator development will include restricted weights and also weights allowed during seasonal increases.
