In South Carolina, a vehicle must be constructed or loaded to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, or otherwise escaping from the vehicle.
This requirement does not apply to a public authority with jurisdiction:
- Dropping sand, salt, or other chemicals for traction; or
- Sprinkling water or other substances to clean or maintain the roadway.
When loaded with rock, gravel, stone, or substances which could blow, leak, sift, or drop, the vehicle must not be driven unless the height of the load against all four walls does not extend above a horizontal line six inches below the vehicle’s top.
A load that exceeds the height limit must be covered with a tarpaulin or other suitable covering, unless the vehicle is constructed to prevent any of its load from dropping, sifting, leaking, blowing, or otherwise escaping from the vehicle.
