Did you know that trucking regulations differ not only between countries but also across Canadian provinces? In Canada, provinces like British Columbia have stricter weight limits and require chains during winter. Ontario allows higher gross vehicle weights (GVW) but strict safety inspections. Quebec has spring thaw restrictions to protect the roads, and the Prairies offer higher GVW limits for specialized rigs. In Atlantic Canada, shorter trailers are often required due to narrower roads and older infrastructure.   In the U.S., regulations vary state-by-state too. For example, California has some of the most stringent emissions standards, while Texas has the least restrictive weight limits but heavy focus on cargo securement.   #truckerslife #trucking #transportationservices #canadiantrucking #ustrucking #crossbordertrucking #overtheroad #crosscountryhaul
