P = Passenger load (See Passenger Load Table D
page 9).
CG = Vertical distance from the ground to the center
v
of gravity [inches] of the completed vehicle.
CG = Horizontal distance from
h
to the center of gravity [inches] of the completed
vehicle.
CG = Vertical distance from the ground to the center of
vb
gravity of the SUB and/or permanently attached
added equipment [inches].
CG = Vertical distance from the ground to the center
vc
of gravity of the chassis [inches] (including cab
if original equipment). (Taken from Table C, page
9).
CG = Horizontal distance from the
hp
to the P (passenger load). (See Table B, page
9).
CG = Vertical distance from the ground to the center
vp
of gravity of the front and rear seat P (passenger
weight). (Taken from Passenger CG
page 9).
W = Weight of the SUB and/or permanently attached
b
added equipment [pounds].
W = Weight at the rear wheels of the SUB and/or
rb
permanently attached added equipment
[pounds].
W = Weight at the rear wheels of the vehicle (chassis
rc
and cab) (fuel tanks full) [pounds]. Including
option weight.

CG = Horizontal distance from the
hI
to the cargo center of gravity [inches]. (Taken
from Table A page 9) for many common vehicles.
If the CG is not given in the table, then it may
hI
be estimated as the distance from the
front wheel to the horizontal midpoint of the cargo
area.
SUB = A Second Unit Body consists of the body
structure and/or all the cargo carrying, work
performing, and/or load bearing components
and/or equipment installed by a subsequent
stage manufacturer on an incomplete vehicle,
such that the incomplete vehicle becomes a
completed vehicle.
CG = Horizontal distance from the
hc
to the center of gravity (inches) of the chassis.
