Section 554.411  Overweight Moves

a)         The minimum combination of vehicles authorized to transport an object for which an overweight permit will be issued shall consist of a standard tandem axle truck tractor drawing a tandem axle semitrailer.  The Department shall consider issuing a permit for an overweight single or tandem axle on a combination of vehicles with less than five axles, providing the gross weight is legal, if the excess weight is caused by equipment which is permanently affixed to a framework or semitrailer with a single or tandem axle.

b)         No overweight permits will be issued for a two-axle truck tractor drawing a three-axle semitrailer.  No permit may be issued for overweight whenever the load could be carried with legal weights on a vehicle of increased length or number of axles.
