Travel INTO Canada

As far as I know thiese rules have changed. We always had the shorter nose versions of the trucks because of the 244 wheelbase rules.

I know a fellow in Quebec that built his Peterbilt glider with 285 wheelbase. I have been told though that he had to have his trailer shortened to 45 feet...

But this is stories from being told, I'll see if I can find out something for you...

 

This should help you out:

Quebec rules

Wheelbase up to 283" is allowed with a permit and some restriction to the trailer wheelbase.

 

That's how they measure the wheelbase of your truck. Steer-axle to mid drives. I guess it would be the same with the trailer...

Don't make it too complicated for me, I'm not all knowing. Just provided you with a link that shows the official rules in Quebec...

 

That pic is with a 53' wagon, rules are different with a 53' over a 48' wagon.

Trailer w/b is measured from kingpin to venter of trailer axles.

 

So,what is the wheelbase?????? 260" or 265".......
Get it right...
Ontario and Quebec can really give ya a hard time for not having it accurate...

 

Center steer-axle to front bumper won't be more then 4 feet, 1.2 m. Center axles trailer to rear bumper will be app 8 ft, 2.5 m.

18.1 + 1.2 + 2.5 = 21.8 meters.

Shouldn't be a problem, just get yourself a permit..!!

 

You're right about that one. Better have it right on the permit.
