A vehicle includes a chassis, a body including a cab and a rear assembly, the body coupled to the chassis, a sensor system, and a control system. The sensor system is positioned to acquire stability data regarding a stability characteristic of the vehicle at a current location. The stability characteristic includes at least one of a slope, a grade, and a jackknife angle of the vehicle. The control system is configured to determine whether the stability characteristic is within an operational range or a nonoperational range and provide (i) an indication that the vehicle is reconfigurable at the current location into a state whereby the vehicle is operable at the current location in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within the operational range or (ii) an indication that the vehicle is not operable at the current location in response to determining that the stability characteristic is within the nonoperational range.
