This report describes the heavy truck weight and dimension regulations which were agreed to by the provinces in the Memorandum of Understanding on Interprovincial Weights and Dimensions (MOU). The purpose of the MOU is to provide improved uniformity in weight and dimension limits through establishment of minimum and/or maximum thresholds acceptable to all jurisdictions for eight configurations of vehicles commonly used in interprovincial transportation.
