Virginia law § 46.2-1129 allows owners of vehicles hauling Virginia-grown farm or forest products to obtain permits for weight limit extensions beyond standard limits, with specific restrictions. These extensions can increase axle and gross weights by five percent but do not permit weights exceeding 84,000 pounds or certain limits on interstate highways.
