Many states have axle weight restrictions. Axle weight is:

The total weight of the vehicle's axles
The total weight transmitted to the ground by one set of axles
The total weight transmitted to the ground by all axles at one time
None of the above

Explanation

Answer: B - Many states have imposed axle weight restrictions. The axle weight value is the weight that is transmitted by one axle or one set of axles to the ground. This value is typically determined on weight scales, often found at weight stations. It is important that drivers know their axle weights before leaving on their trip so they can check to see if they are in compliance or not.
