Oversize Permit
Prior to operation on a highway a permit must be obtained for vehicles and/or loads in excess of the legal dimensions (see Part 1, Maximum Legal Sizes and Weights) and are only issued for loads not readily reducible in size. Permits are not normally granted for loads or vehicles in excess of 4.4 m wide. Should it be necessary to move a load that is wider than 4.4 m, permission must be requested in writing from the Commercial Transport section (Weights and Dimensions) of Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Division . Every permission request must provide details of the commodity to be moved and the reasons it cannot be reduced in size.
Drivers requiring oversize/overweight permits must contact the nearest inspection station (formerly known as weigh scale) in advance for authorization to proceed. When drivers are asked to park and bring in papers, bring in all registrations and permits for all vehicles as well as Log Book and Pre-trip Inspection Report.
If your local inspection station is closed, call the toll-free vehicle permit line at 1-800-559-9688. Staff are available to answer questions and issue permits 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Temporary Operation Permit
As of January 1, 1992, a new Temporary Operation Permit replaced both the Temporary Testing & Demonstration Permit, and the Temporary Operation Permit. It is available at all Auto plan outlets and B.C. government inspection stations (weigh scales). This permit now allows you to operate a vehicle from 1 to 15 days, and allows for general vehicle use. Some restrictions apply to commercial vehicles.
Non-resident Single Trip Permits
Operators of non-resident commercial vehicles may operate in British Columbia by obtaining a single trip non-resident permit which is valid for one trip into and out of the province for a period not exceeding 30 days. Non-resident permits may be obtained from any Inspection station, appointed agent, or government agent. The fee for such a permit is 1/12 of the annual fee for a vehicle of like gross weight.
Quarterly Non-resident Commercial Permit
A commercial vehicle registered and licensed outside the province may be granted a permit valid for a period of up to 3 months upon payment of a fee equal to 1/4 of the annual fee for a vehicle of a like weight. Quarterly permit holders are limited to transporting passengers or goods into, through, or out of the province. This permit does allow for the operation from place to place within the province of a commercial vehicle which enters the province carrying specialized equipment which will be exported out of the province on the same vehicle.
A quarterly period shall commence on the first day of January, April, July and October and shall terminate on the last day of March, June, September and December respectively. Holders of quarterly permits must posses valid motor vehicle inspection certificates, and are subject to the following statutes as required in the following:

Vehicle Dimensions
Over dimensional permits are generally available for non-divisible loads and are subject to certain conditions. A vehicle cannot be operated or moved without a permit if it exceeds the following dimensions:
Length
•12.5 m for a straight vehicle (other than a combination of vehicles or A, B or C trains)•23 m for a combination of vehicles•25 m for A, B or C train
Width 2.6 m
Height 4.15 m
In addition to the overall dimensions vehicles must comply with the following:
Maximum semi-trailer length - 16.2 m
Maximum wheelbase on a semi-trailer - 12.5 m
Maximum wheelbase on a tractor - 6.2 m( manufactured after June 1988)
Maximum box length on an A, B or C-train - 20 m

Permit Condition Guidelines for Provincial Highways
This is a basic guide for permits that are required for the movement of loads exceeding the legal limits. The information provided is subject to The Highways and Transportation Act,1997 and “The Vehicle Weight and Dimension Regulation, 1999”. Where conflicts may arise, this information will be superseded by the appropriate legislation. The prime concerns when issuing permits are the safety, convenience of the public and protection of the province’s highways and structures Special precautions are required when vehicles are allowed to travel while exceeding legal weights and dimensions Permits are issued for non-divisible loads based upon bridge and highway capacities. Permits for overweight are issued at 10 kg per mm width of tire on the steering axle and at 9 kg per mm on all other axles. Operators requiring permits for extremely heavy loads should apply for these permits well in advance to avoid delay, as time is required to review structural capacities along the desire/requested routes
Travel Restrictions
Unless otherwise specified on the Permit:
1.No Travel permitted for loads or vehicles exceeding 3.35 m (11 ft.) wide or 25.0 m (82 ft.) long; i. after 3:00 p.m. until midnight on Fridays during the summer period commencing the Friday prior to Canada Day and ending on Labor Day, after 3:00 pm on any day prior to a Public Holiday or any Friday after 3:00 pm when the following Monday is a Public Holiday or on December 23rd when Christmas falls on a Sunday subject to any of the following restrictions ii .on Sundays or Public Holidays iii. on December 23, 24, 26, 27, 31 and January 2 when Christmas or New Year’s Day fall on a Sunday iv .no travel when exceeding 3.05 m(10’) wide when visibility is reduced to less than 1 000 m or when highways are slippery
2. direct crossing of a Provincial Highway is allowed on Sundays and Public Holidays if a flag person is in attendance during the crossing
3. travel for over dimension loads is subject to structural clearance on provincial highways
