	Divisible Load (Reducible)
	A divisible load is made up of more than one piece. These may be identical items, boxed or unboxed, bundled or loose, or a variety of items that can be hauled together within legal limits. A divisible load is a multi-item load that may not be loaded in such a way that it exceeds legal limits unless expressly allowed by special permit exception. These statutory exceptions are very limited. This category refers to general freight and cargo loads. When referenced to weight, a divisible load must comply with legal axle weight formulas shown on Permit Weight Table 1 and is limited to no more than 80,000 pounds gross. Divisible loads being hauled by combinations with an appropriate wheelbase and number of axles may, by permit, be allowed to exceed the 80,000 pound limit up to a maximum of 105,500 pounds gross. These extended weights are shown on Permit Weight Table 2. For divisible loads, the loaded weight of any group of axles, vehicle, or combination of vehicles shall not exceed that specified in these two tables of weights, or any of the following: The manufacturer’s sidewall tire rating but not to exceed 600 pounds per inch of tire width. 20,000 pounds on any one axle, including any one axle of a group of axles. 34,000 pounds on any tandem axle. The sum of the permittable axle, tandem axle, or group of axle weights shown on Tables 1 or 2, whichever is less.
