B Gross Axle Weight (GAW) and Gross Axle

Weight Rating (GAWR)

Gross Axle Weight

The total weight applied to each axle (GAW) must
never exceed the Gross Axle Weight Rating
(GAWR). The front and rear GAWs can be adjusted
by relocating passengers and luggage inside the
vehicle. The front and rear GAWR are also shown on
the certification label.

Certification label

To check both GVWR and GAWR and to confirm that
the total weight and weight distribution are within
safe driving limits, you should have your vehicle and
trailer weighed at a commercial weighing station.
Be sure that all cargo is firmly secured to prevent a
change in weight distribution while driving.
