Commercial vehicle weight and dimension permits

Introduction

Alberta's government monitors and controls vehicle dimensions and weights, and issues permits for oversize or overweight commercial vehicles. This helps protect infrastructure, support safe travel, ensure safety and minimize impacts to the travelling public. Through monitoring and enforcing safety standards, we aim to keep the province's highways safe for all road users.
