Single Trip Overweight Permit
To
supersede the restrictions of the legislation an owner and/or operator may
apply for a permit. The Single Trip Overweight
permit will allow you to carry the same legal
maximum allowable weights on local roads. However this is not a blanket
authorization. This provincial permit requires you to follow specific
conditions. One such condition requires the permit holder to obtain prior
approval from the local road authority (municipality) who then may grant you
authority to carry up to the legal maximum allowable weight on the
axle group on their local road.
Annual TAC Permit
The
owner/operator of a tridem axle group vehicles wanting to carry the maximum
legal allowable weights (24,000 kgs. and/or 21,000 kgs. depending on axle
spacing) are restricted to Provincial primary and secondary highways.
Section 9 (1) (f) (I) (A) & (B) AR 315/2002 Traffic Safety Act Regulations
refers.
Most importantly within
this portion of the regulation "no person shall operate
a commercial vehicle on a highway when; (ii) on a local road, the gross
weight on the axle group exceeds 17,000 kilograms."
