What is the meaning of “permitted load” on a commercial vehicle?
- The vehicle’s weight plus the weight of the freight.
- The vehicle’s own weight.
- Correct answer: The maximum weight in Kg that is permitted to be loaded on the vehicle.
- The vehicle’s all up weight.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: The maximum weight in Kg that is permitted to be loaded on the vehicle.
The permitted load is the maximum weight, in kg, that is permitted to be loaded on a commercial vehicle. It means the weight of the load alone, not the weight of the vehicle itself. So the all up weight and the vehicle's own weight are not the permitted load.
