If your vehicle is a Professional Vehicle, the vehicle speciﬁc Certiﬁcation label is provided by the ﬁnal stage manufacturer. The coach-builder should be consulted if the ﬁnal stage manufacturer's label is not present. The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating GVWR label should be on the driver's door edge. If you do have a heavy load, you should spread it out. See "Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit" earlier in this section. {CAUTION: Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), or either the maximum front or rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, and it can change the way your vehicle handles. These could cause you to lose control and crash. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle. Notice: Overloading your vehicle may cause damage. Repairs would not be covered by your warranty. Do not overload your vehicle. 332
