In Quebec, heavy trucks must comply with the weight and dimension limits set out in the R\u00e8glement sur les normes de charges et de dimensions<\/strong>. Road enforcement officers check these standards at weigh stations and with portable scales.<\/p>\n In the case of excess weight, the fine increases with the number of excess kilograms. The owner, the operator and, in some cases, the shipper may be targeted. The offence is also recorded in the heavy vehicle owner and operator record (PEVL).<\/p>\n Yes. Several elements can be verified: the certification and calibration of the scale, the weighing method, the load distribution, the validity of a special permit, or the effective dates of thaw restrictions. An error on any of these points can lead to the statement of offence being dismissed or the fine being reduced.<\/p>\n For a truck driver or a fleet owner, every statement of offence also counts on the company’s record. Our lawyers contest your statements of offence throughout Quebec and represent you before the Commission des transports du Qu\u00e9bec.
