§ 5-05 Standards for Measuring Vehicle Capacity.
RCNY § 5-05
Cubic capacity of vehicle bodies and/or containers shall be determined by measurement by the Commissioner's representative, or in some cases such as standard totally enclosed bodies or standard containers the manufacturer's rated capacity may be accepted and adopted, but the Commissioner reserves the right to measure and calculate the cubic capacity of every body and container. Calculations shall be made to the hundredth of a cubic yard. When the calculated capacity contains a fraction not exceeding fifty one-hundredths (50/100) of a cubic yard, capacity shall be fixed at the whole number of cubic yards less the fraction. (When the fraction exceeds fifty one-hundredths of a cubic yard, capacity shall be fixed at the next higher whole number of cubic yards.) Calculations shall be made to the hundredth of a cubic yard. (When the fraction exceeds fifty one-hundredths of a cubic yard, capacity shall be fixed at the next higher whole number of cubic yards.) Class 4 and Class 5 vehicles however, will not be measured and therefore will not have cubic capacity determined and assigned.
