Mass Verification and Configuration Assurance Workbook

Workbook for verifying mass by axle group and configuration before departure.

Who it's for

Suits: Operators carrying mass-sensitive freight or in mass accreditation

What it proves at audit

Heavy Vehicle Accreditation criteria this document produces evidence for. Check your readiness.

Why operators use it

We use LOAD-03 to prove that the actual vehicle, trailer, configuration, freight and operating conditions have been objectively checked against the correct current source, and to learn whenever an exception, change or uncertainty shows that the system needs strengthening.

Mass management is not a single gross-weight figure. It involves the actual profile, axle/group conditions, distribution, vehicle/trailer suitability, manufacturer/component limits, route/access source, freight/load plan and evidence method. LOAD-03 makes these decisions visible and traceable. It avoids the common failure of carrying forward a generic vehicle limit, a historical tare, a legacy CML card or an unexplained check-weigh frequency into a changed task.

From the companion guide that comes with this document.

This is practical guidance based on current industry standards. You must verify specific requirements against the latest NHVR regulations or state-specific laws (e.g., WA/NT) before implementation.
