Permitted Gross Weight (JBI)
JBI, the permitted gross weight, is the maximum weight of a vehicle plus load allowed on the class of road it travels. It can be lower than JBB, for example when a three-axle truck uses a class II or III road with an 8-tonne heaviest axle load instead of the 10 tonnes of class I. Combinations such as trailers use the equivalent JBKB and JBKI figures. When planning a load, use the lower of JBB and JBI for the weakest road on the route.
