“Permitted load” on a commercial vehicle is:

1. Correct answer: The maximum weight of the cargo (in Kg) that is permitted to be loaded on the vehicle
2. The weight of the cargo plus the vehicle’s own weight
3. The all up weight of a transport vehicle
4. The vehicle’s own weight, including: water, oil, fuel and the weight of the driver

WhyPermitted load is how many kilograms of cargo the vehicle may carry. Don't confuse it with the all-up weight, which includes the vehicle itself.
