Weight & Dimension Regulations for Land Transportation in Central America

As part of our shared commitment to road safety and regulatory compliance, we want to inform you about the weight and dimension limits for cargo vehicles operating in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua, in accordance with the Acuerdo Centroamericano Sobre Circulación Por Carreteras, en Materia de Pesos y Dimensiones de Vehículos de Carga.

Key Points to Consider:

• These regulations establish maximum allowable weights and dimensions for vehicles transporting cargo by road across Central America.
• Compliance is mandatory to ensure safe operations, protect infrastructure, and avoid penalties.
• Exceeding these limits may result in fines, delays, or the need for transloading to redistribute cargo.

Your Action:

• Please review your upcoming shipments and ensure they comply with these limits.
• Validate any special requirements with your account representative before scheduling services.
• If excess weight prevents safe or legal mobilization, transloading will be required, and associated costs will apply.
