LTAP Truck Weight Education

This training promotes voluntary compliance to reduce damage to public roads and highways from overweight vehicles. Its goal is to teach you how to haul the most legal weight without violating truck-weight laws. You'll learn about road-weight regulations during various times of the year, including the winter load increase and spring load restrictions. How trucks are configured—with proper axle spacing and tire size—makes a difference. Instructors will provide professional, easy-to-understand take-home materials to assist you with your own configurations and options. The training is updated to reflect changes in truck-weight legislation.

Registration for spring 2024 sessions opened when LTAP notified us on January 31, 2024. Until there are significant changes in the course materials, this course can only be taken once for credit. If you attempt to register but have previously received credit you will receive an error.

MLEP will register MLEP member loggers on the MN LTAP website. Until you receive an approval email from info@mlep.org you are not confirmed. If the class is full expect to hear from Julie to find alternate training opportunities. 

Non-Loggers and loggers who are not MLEP members must register directly with LTAP.

If you register directly with MN-LTAP and not through MLEP then you will NOT receive MLEP credit unless you submit your attendance certificate to MLEP.
