Carrying weight load

Having in the past had to drive delivery vans and be careful of loading, I can assure you that you can not legally exceed your maximum authorised mass (MAM or weight here on good old earth with gravity taking effect).

Your max axle weight combined will probably be greater than the max vehicle weight, this includes driver or anything else. If you as a driver weighed 500kgs you couldn't legally drive a vehicle which could only carry 400kgs for example.

If you are stopped and weighed you will be fined for each axle that is overloaded and if the total vehicle weight is over, so 3 offences in all. This is to ensure that vehicles are loaded evenly.

Why not move the bricks in 2 trips?
