Specifically Manitoba and West.
Did the old 244" max wheelbase on a tandem tractor get changed to something longer?
I know for a long time you could get a long wheelbase permit for legal loads. (With a corresponding reduction on trailer wheelbase). But never get a permit for oversize/overweight with a +244" truck.
Did this get changed? And if so, what is the max now for OSOW?
Western Canada OSOW wheelbase regs.

SAR, stwik, IH Truck Guy and 3 others Thank this.

You couldn't have 2 permits before, now with the change in wheelbase, the OSOW would be the 1 permit. Think trailer reduction still applies. Also if you are unaware, before I know Manitoba offered a spread axle annual permit for the trailer, don't know if this has changed

Yes, a wheelbase longer than 6.2 m (244") is allowed, but there is a reduction in trailer wheelbase; see: Heavy Truck Weight and Dimension Limits for Interprovincial Operations in Canada.
Two other links I would keep handy:
- comt.ca Council of Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety: Authors of the above linked MOU
- ccmta.ca Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators: You'll find all of the National Safety Code Standards for operating in Canada, sercurement info, etc.
