What is the maximum width allowed by state law for a truck, including its load?

The maximum width allowed by state law for a truck, including its load, is 102 inches. This regulation is in place to ensure safe travel on highways and roads, taking into consideration infrastructure limitations such as bridges, signs, and overall roadway design. Trucks wider than this specified width could pose safety hazards or may not fit within certain roadways or infrastructure limits.

This standard helps to provide consistency across the state and facilitates interstate transport, as trucks often travel through multiple jurisdictions. Ensuring that trucks remain within this width maximizes efficiency while minimizing risks related to vehicle maneuverability and accidents. The other width options exceed this regulation, which would not comply with Texas law.
