Poids et dimensions

The Commercial Vehicle Weights and Dimensions course helps drivers and operators understand Canada’s federal and provincial regulations for truck size and weight. Learners will explore the MOU, highway-specific rules, and provincial differences to ensure safe operations and avoid costly violations. By the end, participants will know how to calculate legal limits, interpret restrictions, and stay compliant on the road.

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.
