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.
Escort and warning-equipment conditions attach per permit by dimension band.
Daylight travel is the working default for oversize loads; curfews apply in urban areas.
Spring weight restrictions apply on posted routes during thaw, per provincial orders.
The province caps regular single-trip permits at 70,000 kg gross, with a two-vehicle concept reaching 120,000 kg; anything past those limits becomes an EXCESSIVE over-mass or over-dimension permit with additional review and extra restrictions if approved.
