Put the information together

  1. Record freight length, width, height and weight, noting attachments and anything removed for transport.
  2. Measure overall loaded height from the road surface and the widest and longest points of the full configuration.
  3. Provide axle weights, spacing, tire information and overhang when the carrier or permitting authority requires them.

What to confirm

Keep estimates marked as estimates. Do not add freight height to a guessed deck height and present it as a verified transport measurement. Re-measure when equipment, load position or attachments change.

Keep one current shipment record

  • Record the final measurements and the person confirming them.
  • Keep the proposed route and intended movement date with the load details.
  • Recheck the plan when a material shipment detail changes.
