An oversized load refers to any capacity or truckload that exceeds the allowable legal length, height, and width instructed by each province.

Any freight that is within the mentioned dimensions and carried by a trailer with enough axles for the weight does not need any special permits. However, oversized loads which exceed the limits must follow the additional requirements, such as having warning flags and warning lights as directed by province/traffic authorities, escorted by a pilot vehicle, and adhere to permitted travel routes and times.
