Vehicles and trucks that are transporting loads of excessive size or weight over legal limits and are busy in operating transportation activities on public highways are obligated to obtain oversize permits when their loads that can not be decreased in size. These permits are obtained upon written appeal from the Commercial Transport section of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch. Oversize permits are offered not only for the vehicles or loads that are 4.4 meters wide, but also for wider vehicles also. The specifics of the commodity being transported coupled with reasons of non-reducible size should be provided with the application of the permit.

Oversize permits are also assigned on the basis of axle size of the automobile, as there are certain constraints on the load-per-axle to assess the need of this transportation permit. A load that goes above the limit per-axle is considered to be over-weighted or oversized, as opposed to considering the overall weight of the load. Suppose your commercial vehicle transports construction machinery, pre-built homes, construction materials, or containers. It’s weight limits are then calculated on weight limits per-axle to be eligible for this permit.
