Canada’s vehicle weights and dimensions

['Size and Weight Limits']
Canada’s vehicle weights and dimensions

Like most Canadian motor carrier regulations, the commercial vehicle size and weight limits are enforced at the province or territory level.

In order to create uniformity in vehicle dimensions and weights throughout Canada, the Canadian jurisdictions have agreed to a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) on vehicle size and weights.

Created by the Council of Ministers of Transportation and Highway Safety, the MOU establishes standard height, width, length, and weight limits for eight common vehicle configurations. A task force within the Council, the Task Force on Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Policy, periodically meets to discuss possible areas for improvement and to decide on updates to the MOU, if warranted.
