280" Wheelbase with 53' stepdeck?

The short answer is, no.

Start reading at Amendment 9 on page 6: https://comt.ca/english/programs/trucking/MOU 2019.pdf

Tractor wheelbase: 280" (7.112 m)

Maximum trailer wheelbase: 11.87 m (38.95')
Maximum overall: 23 m (75.46')​

You'll have to check each province individually to see if you can permit it.

 

I’m no expert heck don’t even go that far north but can’t you get a permit??? To run with if you have a long wheel base and long trailer??

 

I dont promise it hasn't changed since i last ran up there but you used to be able to get a permit

 

Slide your fifth wheel ahead to get to 75 ft and your legal Canada wide.

 

He won't get under 75 by moving the fifth wheel.

 

He should be able to get under75 ft.My WB is 284 and I can still get under 75ft with a 53 ft trailer by sliding my fifth wheel ahead about 18 inches.

 

I dont see how. Im nearly 72 ft with a 48. I can slide the fifth wheel up some, but not 2 feet without the trailer getting into the headache rack during turns.

 

36 inch pin setting.
