Course Overview

Canada’s road network supports more than 1.3 million registered commercial vehicles, part of a total fleet of over 26 million vehicles nationwide. While commercial trucks represent a relatively small percentage of traffic, they are linked to around 8% of all collisions and nearly one-fifth of fatal accidents. With such significant impact, strong safety standards and strict compliance with commercial vehicle weights and dimensions are vital.

This online program examines both federal and provincial/territorial regulations governing commercial truck size and weight. Learners will study requirements for width, height, length, and weight, as well as the purpose of the MOU, which brings consistency across jurisdictions. By the end of the course, drivers and operators will know how to avoid costly violations, improve safety, and remain compliant.
