H-25 and HS-25 loading make assumptions on how point loads are distributed by two different types of trucks. One of the best discussions that I have seen is in this publication for timber bridges (starting on page 6-2)

Note that the magnitude of the the loads may vary (15, 20 or 25 tons) but the load distribution proportions and diagrams are similar.
