DETROIT LAKES (KDLM) – Winter load increases will begin Saturday, Dec. 18, at 12:01 a.m. on unrestricted state highways in the north frost zone.
Vehicles will be allowed to operate up to 10 percent over the standard legal maximum loads on unrestricted highways during the winter load increase period. However, trucks must comply with current registration weight laws and not exceed registered gross weight tolerances.
A winter weight increase permit is required to take advantage of the 10 percent weight increase on interstate highways only; a permit is not required for state trunk highways.
