A truck overloaded by 20% will be fined 200 yuan. Here are the relevant provisions: 1. Article 92 stipulates: If a freight motor vehicle carries goods exceeding the approved loading capacity by less than 30%, a fine ranging from 200 to 500 yuan shall be imposed; if it exceeds the approved loading capacity by 30% or violates regulations by carrying passengers, a fine ranging from 500 to 2,000 yuan shall be imposed, and the vehicle may be detained. For transportation unit vehicles that continue to violate after being penalized, the directly responsible personnel in charge shall be fined between 2,000 and 5,000 yuan. 2. Article 48 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" states: "Motor vehicles carrying goods must comply with the approved loading capacity, overloading is strictly prohibited. The length, width, and height of the carried goods must not violate loading requirements, and the cargo must not be spilled or scattered."
