    You’re good to go by an inch. Under 14ft 6in is the limit for night operations.

    If you have a permit, open it up and read the operating conditions for answers to these questions.
    Forum subscribers can be great sources of information or misinformation, leaving you to separate the #### from the Shinola. The maximum height is on page 3 of the operating conditions.

    Over Height
    Over 5.3 Meters (17 Feet 4 Inches)
    Notify Power and Telephone. **DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY**
    Over 6.0 Meters (19 Feet 8 Inches)
    Province and / or Municipality Approval Required.

    I actually read the permit 3 times and section 6 about the height is vague and did not mention anything about night driving.
