- § 07Is my width, height or length over the allowed limit for the chosen type?Measurements & dimensions →
- § 08Are my tyres dimensioned for the axle loads I load them with, and how much margin is there?Tire load-carrying capacity check →
- § 09What is my vehicle's achieved braking percentage, and does it meet the chosen requirement with my total weight?Brake percentage & brake force →
- § 10Where should the cargo lie on the truck (distance from front axle) for good weight distribution, and should I move it forward or backward?Optimal loading position →
- § VHow do I go from a planned load to a complete drive specification: what can I load, where do axle loads land, how many breaks and how many lashings?Plan a general rehearsal of the practical steps the test is expected to contain →
Step V — Directory
The guided workflow: answer vehicle type, weight, dimensions and load securing and get the complete drive spec — allowed load, axle pressure, breaks and lashings — brought together in one flow.
Step A — Time
Plan the day: count the mandatory breaks and stay under the daily driving time under EU 561/2006.
Step B — Weight & load
Work out the weight: payload, overload check and distribution of the load across the front and rear axles against the legal limits.
Payload & weight check
How much may I load?
Axle load & weight distribution
How is the load distributed across the axles?
Max. total weight
How heavy may the vehicle legally be?
Measurements & dimensions
Do the width, height and length stay within the law?
Tire load-carrying capacity check
Do my tires hold the axle loads?
Optimal loading position
Where on the cargo should the load be placed for best weight distribution?
Step C — Driving
Drive safely: calculate the stopping distance from speed, reaction time and road conditions — reaction distance plus braking distance.
Step D — Load securing
Lash the load: an estimate of the number of top-over lashings per DS/EN 12195-1 based on weight, friction, strap and angle.
