When selecting the appropriate equipment for different types of loads, it is essential to recognize that cargo transport equipment varies in dimensions and characteristics. The main types of cargo transport equipment include dry vans, reefers (refrigerated units), and open deck trailers, each with unique shape, size, weight capacity, and temperature control features.

To choose the most suitable transport solution, determine the load's dimensions (length, height, and width) and weight accurately. With this information, select the type of equipment that best ensures the safe transportation of your goods.

What are the routine trucking permits in British Columbia

Oversize and overweight trucking permits that are routinely issued by the British Columbia DOT :

Length: 27.5 meters (90 feet, 2, and 43/64 fourths on an inch) is the maximum length for a routine permit in British Columbia.
Width: 4.4 meters (14 feet, 5, and 15/64 fourths of an inch) is the maximum you will get from British Columbia DOT on a routine permit.
Height: There is no number provided. The British Columbia DOT permit office wants to assess every load that is over-height based on intended routing.
Weight: This is the same as the height. They will not give you a solid number for routine. We are going to suggest 63,500 kg (134,994 lbs) since we had trouble locating what we feel was a reasonable maximum limit above for “legal loads limits”. we sure welcome your comments below.
Overhang: 6.5 meters (21 feet, 3, and 29/32 seconds of an inch) for routine permits for overhang.

NOTES: If your shipment is oversize and overweight you will be required to have two separate permits. Oversize loads are required to have safety flags no less than 16″ x 16″ (46.64 cm) square and be red in color.

When Are Pilot Cars Required in British Columbia?

British Columbia DOT requires a pilot car (escort vehicle) to accompany your shipment if you are in excess of any of the following dimensions or weights:

Length: For shipments in excess of 27.5 meters (90′) in length you will be required to have 1 rear pilot car (escort vehicle) on all roads. For shipments over 27.5 meters (90′) in length, 1 front pilot car/escort and 1 rear pilot car/escort are required.
Width: For shipments in excess of 3.5 meters (11′ 6″) wide, you will be required to have 1 front pilot car on two-lane roads or 1 rear pilot car/escort on multiple-lane roads. In some cases, a beacon light may be substituted. Night travel is often granted at 304.8 cm (10′ wide). If granted night travel, you may be required to have 1 pilot car/escort in the front of your shipment, which is over 3.2 meters (10′ 5 and 63/64 fourths of an inch”) in width. Shipments that are over 3.5 meters (11′ 5 and 51/64 fourths of an inch”) wide up to 4.4 meters (14′ 5 and 15/64 fourths of an inch) require 1 front pilot car/escort vehicle. Shipments that are over 3.5 meters (11′ 5 and 51/64 fourths of an inch”) wide are permitted to travel at night only.
Height: Depending on your route the BC DOT permit office will determine if you are required to have a pilot car/escort vehicle.
Weight: Weight is on a case-by-case basis. As long as your shipment can maintain the minimum required speed limit, you will probably not be required to have a pilot car/escort by the British Columbia DOT permit office.
Overhang: If your vehicle has more than 6.5 meters (21′ 3 and 29/32 seconds of an inch) of overhang, you will be required to have 1 rear pilot car/escort.
