Key Terms APPORTIONED VEHICLE: i. has two Axles and a gross Vehicle weight or registered gross Vehicle weight in excess of 26,000 pounds (11, kilograms), or ii. has three or more Axles, regardless of weight, or iii. is used in combination, when the gross Vehicle weight of such combination exceeds 26,000 pounds (11, kilograms).
