(1) The permit shall authorize the operation of a ready-mixed concrete truck with a gross vehicle weight not to exceed sixty-nine thousand pounds if a rear tandem-axle mixer truck, a gross vehicle weight not to exceed eighty-three thousand pounds if a rear tri-axle mixer truck, and a gross vehicle weight not to exceed eighty-four thousand pounds if a rear quad-axle mixer truck.
