Section 1.4 contains information from the NHTSA brochure entitled “Tire Safety –
Everything Rides On It”.
This brochure, as well as the preceding subsections, describes the following items;
• Tire labeling, including a description and explanation of each marking on the tires, and

1.1. STEPS FOR DETERMINING CORRECT LOAD LIMIT – TRAILER
Determining the load limits of a trailer includes more than understanding the load limits
of the tires alone. On all trailers there is a Federal certification/VIN label that is located on
the forward half of the left (road) side of the unit. This certification/VIN label will indicate
the trailer’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). This is the most weight the fully loaded
trailer can weigh. It will also provide the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). This is the
most a particular axle can weigh. If there are multiple axles, the GAWR of each axle will be
provided.
