Section 39.03.01.313 - REMOVAL OF DISABLED VEHICLES01.Permits Issued. Annual Disabled Vehicle permits will be issued to wrecker trucks or other vehicles used for the removal, including the first and secondary movement of disabled vehicles and their unladen return.02.Permitted Vehicle. The permitted vehicle involved in the removal of disabled vehicles will be the proper class of vehicle and will have adequate gross vehicle weight and traction to control the combination of wrecker and attached disabled vehicles, and will provide brakes to the trailer axles and stop signal and clearance lights to such towed disabled vehicle.03.Loaded Weight. Loaded weight of the permitted vehicle's drive axle(s) will be permitted up to the basic allowable unit weight as shown on the current Idaho Transportation Department Route Capacity Map for the corresponding-colored route, unless the state roadways route is posted with a weight restriction. The current Route Capacity Map is available to the public online. Length of the combination will be limited to the legal or permitted length of the disabled combination plus forty-five (45') feet. Width will be limited to ten (10') feet or to the permitted width of the permitted disabled over-width vehicle/load. All axles must be fully deployed when exceeding adjacent legal axle weights. a. Disabled Vehicle and Snowplow permits involving overweight loadings will be available at the following levels: i. Red Routes - The red rout es contain posted bridges and require approval or analysis from the Department. A vehicle configuration may be issued an annual Disabled Vehicle and Snowplow permit for travel on red routes, upon completion of an analysis verifying the requested weights are acceptable. The annual permit will be issued for a specific vehicle configuration, operating on a specific route, at specific weights. All information will be listed on the annual permit and will be subject to revocation at such time as the vehicle configuration changes (such as axle spacings), the approved weights change, or a bridge rating changes.ii. Yellow Routes - The yellow overweight level is based on a single axle loading of twenty-two thousand five hundred (22,500) pounds, a tandem axle loading of thirty-eight thousand (38,000) pounds, and a tridem axle loading of forty-eight thousand (48,000) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and the number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 560 ((LN/N-1) + 12N + 36).iii. Orange Routes - The orange overweight level is based on a single axle loading of twenty-four thousand (24,000) pounds, a tandem axle loading of forty-one thousand (41,000) pounds, and a tridem axle loading of fifty-one thousand five hundred (51,500) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 600 ((LN/N-1) + 12N + 36).iv. Green Routes - The green overweight level is based on a single axle loading of twenty-five thousand five hundred (25,500) pounds, a tandem axle loading of forty-three thousand five hundred (43,500) pounds and a tridem axle loading of fifty-four thousand five hundred (54,500) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 640 ((LN/N-1) + 12N +36).v. Blue Routes - The blue overweight level is based on a single axle loading of twenty-seven thousand (27,000) pounds, a tandem axle loading of forty-six thousand (46,000) pounds, and a tridem axle loading of fifty-seven thousand five hundred (57,500) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 675 ((LN/N-1) + 12N + 36).vi. Purple Routes - The purple overweight level is based on a single axle loading of thirty thousand (30,000) pounds, a tandem axle loading of fifty-one thousand five hundred (51,500) pounds, and a tridem axle loading of sixty-four thousand five hundred (64,500) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 755 ((LN/N-1) + 12N + 36).vii. Black Routes - The black overweight level is based on a single axle loading of thirty-three thousand (33,000) pounds, a tandem axle loading of fifty-six thousand (56,000) pounds, and a tridem axle loading of seventy thousand five hundred (70,500) pounds or the equivalent loading as determined by spacings and number of axles and computed by applying the formula W = 825 ((LN/N-1) + 12N + 36).viii. Weight Formula. "W" is the maximum weight in pounds (to the nearest five hundred (500) pounds) carried on any group of two (2) or more consecutive axles. "L" is the distance in feet between the extremes of any group of two (2) or more consecutive axles, "N" is the number of axles under consideration and "F" is the load factor most appropriate based on the most critical bridge on the highway route.b. The maximum overweight levels will not exceed eight hundred (800) pounds per inch width of tire nor the maximum weights authorized.04.Time of Travel Restrictions. Time of travel restrictions will be waived during the first movement of the disabled vehicle when necessary to clear the travel way. Disabled vehicles that are oversize and moving at night will be required to operate in accordance with the lighting requirements as listed in Section 007 of this rule. A front pilot/escort vehicle will be required when disabled vehicles exceeding ten (10') feet wide and is being moved at night.05.First Movement. A disabled vehicle permit will cover the wrecker for the first movement of a disabled vehicle from the point at which the disabled vehicle became disabled to a location (i.e. towing company, repair, or company facility) where it can be safely secured.06.Secondary Movement. A disabled vehicle permit will cover a wrecker for secondary movements of disabled vehicles as long as any vehicle combinations have been separated and the wrecker plus the portion of the disabled vehicle do not exceed allowable weight or size limits.07.Replacement Vehicle. The permitted vehicle involved in the removal of a disabled vehicle will be allowed to tow a functional replacement vehicle to the point of disablement, to replace the disabled vehicle.08.Height Restrictions. The disabled vehicle height will not exceed the height of fifteen (15') feet on the first movement.Idaho Admin. Code r. 39.03.01.313
