(1) The maximum
size, axle, axle combination, and total weight limitations authorized by a
permit may not be exceeded.
(2)
Property transported under a permit shall be loaded to minimize its size and
weight.
(3) An oversize vehicle
used for transporting loads under a
permit shall be reduced to legal size
whenever possible when being operated without load.
Note: Legal sizes are set forth in ch. 348 and s.
349.16,
Stats.
(4) A load
transported under a permit may not extend beyond the front of the power unit,
beyond the left fender line of the transporting vehicle, or more than 6 inches
beyond the right fender of the transporting vehicle, unless the overhang is
minimized by suitable positioning of the load upon the vehicle.
(5) Loads consisting of more than one
article, none of which are oversize, may not be transported under the
permit.
(6) Vehicles and loads
which, when reasonably divided, would not be oversize or overweight, may not be
transported under the permit.
(7)
Loads which, when reasonably repositioned on the transporting vehicle would not
be oversize or overweight, may not be transported under the permit.
(8) Loads consisting of more than one
article, one or more of which are oversize, may be transported under a
permit
only if:
(a) The vehicle and load is not
overweight, and
(b) The other
articles transported do not cause the vehicle and load to be oversize in any
manner differently from the largest single article.
Note: 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.
However, 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.
Finally, if the vehicle and load were overweight, then no
additional article may be transported.
(9) The load shall be properly secured and
fastened to the transporting vehicle.
(10) Wheels on one side of a transporting
vehicle may not carry more than 60% of the total gross load.
