| permitted
under this Chapter. During the towing operation, | 2 |
| neither the tow truck nor
the vehicle combination shall exceed
| 3 |
| 24,000 pounds on a single
rear axle and
44,000 pounds on a | 4 |
| tandem rear axle, provided the towing vehicle:
| 5 |
| (1) is specifically designed as a tow truck having a | 6 |
| gross vehicle
weight
rating of at least 18,000 pounds and | 7 |
| is equipped with air brakes, provided that
air
brakes are | 8 |
| required only if the towing vehicle is towing a vehicle,
| 9 |
| semitrailer, or tractor-trailer combination that is | 10 |
| equipped with air brakes;
| 11 |
| (2) is equipped with flashing, rotating, or | 12 |
| oscillating amber lights,
visible for at least 500 feet in | 13 |
| all directions;
| 14 |
| (3) is capable of utilizing the lighting and braking | 15 |
| systems of the
disabled vehicle or combination of vehicles; | 16 |
| and
| 17 |
| (4) does not engage in a tow exceeding 20 miles from | 18 |
| the initial point of
wreck or disablement. Any additional | 19 |
| movement of the vehicles may occur only
upon issuance of | 20 |
| authorization for that movement under the provisions of
| 21 |
| Sections 15-301 through 15-319 of this Code. The towing | 22 |
| vehicle, however,
may tow any disabled vehicle from the
| 23 |
| initial point of wreck or disablement to a point where | 24 |
| repairs are actually to
occur. This movement shall be valid | 25 |
| only on State routes.
The tower must abide by posted bridge | 26 |
| weight
limits.

| Gross weight limits shall not apply to the combination of | 2 |
| the tow truck
and vehicles being towed. The tow truck license | 3 |
| plate must cover the
operating empty weight of the tow truck | 4 |
| only. The weight
of each vehicle being towed shall be covered | 5 |
| by a valid license plate issued to
the owner or operator of the | 6 |
| vehicle being towed and displayed on that vehicle.
If no valid | 7 |
| plate issued to the owner or operator of that vehicle is | 8 |
| displayed
on that vehicle, or the plate displayed on that | 9 |
| vehicle does not cover the
weight of the vehicle, the weight of | 10 |
| the vehicle shall be covered by
the third tow truck plate | 11 |
| issued to the owner or operator of the tow truck and
| 12 |
| temporarily affixed to the vehicle being towed. If a roll-back | 13 |
| carrier is registered and being used as a tow truck, however, | 14 |
| the license plate or plates for the tow truck must cover the | 15 |
| gross vehicle weight, including any load carried on the bed of | 16 |
| the roll-back carrier.
| 17 |
| The Department may by rule or regulation prescribe | 18 |
| additional requirements.
However, nothing in this Code shall | 19 |
| prohibit a tow truck under
instructions of a police officer | 20 |
| from legally clearing a disabled vehicle,
that may be in | 21 |
| violation of weight limitations of this Chapter, from the
| 22 |
| roadway to the berm or shoulder of the highway.
If in the | 23 |
| opinion of the police officer that location is unsafe, the | 24 |
| officer
is authorized to have the disabled vehicle towed to the | 25 |
| nearest place of
safety.

GVWR, shall mean the value specified by the | 2 |
| manufacturer as the loaded
weight of the tow truck.
| 3 |
| (e) No vehicle or combination of vehicles equipped with | 4 |
| pneumatic tires
shall be operated, unladen or with load, upon | 5 |
| the highways of this State in
violation of the provisions of | 6 |
| any permit issued under the provisions of
Sections 15-301 | 7 |
| through 15-319 of this Chapter.
| 8 |
| (f) On designated Class I, II, or III highways and the | 9 |
| National System of
Interstate and Defense Highways, no vehicle | 10 |
| or combination of vehicles with
pneumatic tires may be | 11 |
| operated, unladen or with load,
when the total weight on the | 12 |
| road surface
exceeds the following: 20,000 pounds on a single | 13 |
| axle; 34,000 pounds on a
tandem axle with no axle within the | 14 |
| tandem exceeding 20,000 pounds; 80,000
pounds gross weight for | 15 |
| vehicle combinations of 5 or more axles;
or a total weight on a | 16 |
| group of 2 or more consecutive axles in excess of that
weight | 17 |
| produced by the application of the following formula: W = 500 | 18 |
| times the
sum of (LN divided by N-1) + 12N + 36, where "W" | 19 |
| equals overall total weight on
any group of 2 or more | 20 |
| consecutive axles to the nearest 500 pounds, "L" equals
the
| 21 |
| distance measured to the nearest foot between extremes of any | 22 |
| group of 2 or
more consecutive axles, and "N" equals the number | 23 |
| of axles in the group under
consideration.
| 24 |
| The above formula when expressed in tabular form results in | 25 |
| allowable loads
as follows:
