What is prohibited regarding loads in agency vehicles?

• A. Carrying heavy or excessive loads
• B. Carrying heavy or excessive loads unless the vehicle is specifically designed for that purpose.
• C. Securing loads
• D. Carrying loads only light

Answer: (B)

Loads in agency vehicles must stay within the vehicle’s design limits; you may transport heavy or excessive loads only when the vehicle is specifically designed for that purpose. This keeps handling, braking, and stability within safe bounds and protects the vehicle from damage. If a vehicle isn’t designed for heavy loads, exceeding its limits can overload the suspension, tires, or structure, and it can violate policy and safety standards. Securing loads is an essential safety practice and is required, not a prohibition, while saying loads must be light is too restrictive since purpose-built vehicles may carry heavy payloads.
