Steps
Calculate actual loaded axle and axle-group weights for the water tender, since a full tank can push a truck over standard limits even when the empty vehicle is compliant
Compare loaded weights against TxDMV's axle/axle-group formula, which is based on 650 lbs per inch of tire width or the applicable axle-group weight limit, whichever is lower
Verify minimum axle spacing (40 inches within a group) is met for the configuration being used
Apply for the appropriate TxDMV oversize/overweight permit before operating over standard limits on Texas roads
Check the Federal Bridge Formula compliance if operating on federal-aid highways, since even a state permit doesn't override federal bridge-formula axle spacing requirements
Known gotchas
Overweight limits are state-specific — a permit obtained in Texas does not cover the same load configuration crossing into another state; re-check each state's DOT limits for multi-state hauling routes
A full water load can silently push a legally-registered truck over the line since water's weight (about 8.34 lb/gallon) adds up fast — always compute worst-case full-tank weight, not average load
The federal government sets bridge-formula and general highway weight caps but does not itself issue permits; each state runs its own permit process and inspection enforcement
