Loaded height adds the trailer deck; the quote computes it from your dimensions and the trailer it assigns. This guide is provided free, for general information, so shippers can see how oversize and overweight moves work. It is not legal advice and not a permit determination. Limits, escort bands, fees, and seasonal restrictions change regularly; before relying on any figure, verify it with the jurisdiction's transportation department or permit office, or a licensed permit service. When you book with LoadLoom, our dispatch desk and your assigned carrier confirm the current rules for your exact load and route; that confirmation, not this page, governs your shipment.
Warning signs, lights, and escort requirements attach by dimension band on the permit; annual over-length permits run for configurations to 31 m.
Daylight travel is the working default for oversize loads; curfews apply in urban areas.
Spring road restrictions cut allowable weights on posted Manitoba routes each thaw season, per the province's published restriction orders.
Above the self-issue envelope (3.7 m / 4.6 m / 31 m / 60,000 kg), moves take individual review; the biggest weights follow the province's truck weight limit mapping, where the route's own classification binds before anything else.
