Vehicles and trucks that are moving 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 can be obtained upon written appeal from the Commercial Transport section of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch. Oversize permits are available not only for the vehicles or loads that are 4.4 meters wide, but also for wider vehicles also.

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

A Wide load permit is required to be obtained by pilot cars not exceeding 5,500 kg in gross vehicle weight, and are allowed for single commercial transportation when the length of load being transported exceeds 27.5 meter and width exceeds 3.2 meters. The pilot car must mount on its roof top a sign of Long Load, Wide Load or Oversize Load to warn other travelling by vehicles. Oversize vehicles with loads of 3.2 meters width or under 3.5 meters width are exempted for this form of transportation permit if they operate during daytime, but for wider loads this permit is necessary.
