Individual axles have upper limits. The sum
of the two axle upper limits usually exceeds
the overall vehicle MTPLM, but this does not
mean you can load each axle to its maximum,
because doing so would exceed the overall
MTPLM of the whole vehicle.

to ensure the roof has the correct structural

safely secured.
