Overweight container drayage: weight, chassis, route, and receiver details
Check weight, chassis, route, and receiver together
- Gross cargo weight, container size/type, and weight distribution if known.
- Terminal or ramp, delivery ZIP, route notes, and receiver access.
- Requested chassis or tri-axle equipment and any scale information already available.
- Appointment window, unload method, and equipment return instructions.
Review legal weight before assigning chassis equipment
Overweight moves can change equipment, routing, appointment timing, legal limits, and receiver access. Not every heavy request is automatically workable. Overweight import and tri-axle moves are reviewed by fit. Export moves should stay legal weight.
Legal weight, chassis, route, and receiver checks
- The proposed route and equipment support the legal weight.
- Chassis or tri-axle equipment fits and is available after review.
- Receiver access and unloading can support the move.
- Appointment and closeout timing fit.
Heavy import moves SP Logistics can review
SP Logistics reviews overweight imports by legal weight, route, chassis fit, receiver access, and equipment availability. Export containers should remain legal weight.
SP Logistics cargo-weight planning guidance
| Container | Standard dry | Standard reefer | Tri-axle dry | Tri-axle reefer |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20-foot | 38,000 lb | 34,500 lb | 42,000 lb | Not listed |
| 40-foot | 44,000 lb | 41,500 lb | 48,000 lb | 44,000 lb |
| 45-foot | 44,000 lb | 41,500 lb | 44,000 lb | 44,000 lb |
These figures are SP Logistics planning guidance, not a legal-weight determination or guaranteed acceptance. Final fit depends on axle distribution, chassis, route, receiver access, equipment, scale information, and current capacity.
