Weight wavier for auxiliary power units

[snikle]

To all the LEO types are you aware of the Weight waiver for trucks with an apu
if you have a weigh slip proving your apu weighs more than the allowed 400 pounds will you be able to receive the additional weight waiver


(c) Vehicle Weight Exemption- Section 127(a) of title 23, United States Code, is amended--

(1) by designating the first through eleventh sentences as paragraphs (1) through (11), respectively; and

(2) by adding at the end the following:

`(12) HEAVY DUTY VEHICLES-

`(A) IN GENERAL- Subject to subparagraphs (B) and (C), in order to promote reduction of fuel use and emissions because of engine idling, the maximum gross vehicle weight limit and the axle weight limit for any heavy-duty vehicle equipped with an idle reduction technology shall be increased by a quantity necessary to compensate for the additional weight of the idle reduction system.

`(B) MAXIMUM WEIGHT INCREASE- The weight increase under subparagraph (A) shall be not greater than 400 pounds.

`(C) PROOF- On request by a regulatory agency or law enforcement agency, the vehicle operator shall provide proof (through demonstration or certification) that--

`(i) the idle reduction technology is fully functional at all times; and

`(ii) the 400-pound gross weight increase is not used for any purpose other than the use of idle reduction technology described in subparagraph (A).'.

I couldn't find anything in the current United States Code. Where did you find the reference at?

I searched here http://uscode.house.gov/search/criteria.shtml and Section 127(a) Paragraph c of USC 23 is for ocean containers.

Without a verifiable source the post maybe an Internet hoax.

With that said:

No, you would not be able to acquire an additional weight allowance:

(B) MAXIMUM WEIGHT INCREASE- The weight increase under subparagraph (A) shall be not greater than 400 pounds.


Be safe.
