We would like to inform you of the spring thaw for the province of Québec. The information regarding this subject comes from either the ministère des Transports du Québec or the Quebec Trucking Association.

To minimize road deterioration during this period, the ministère des Transports subjects highway carriers to stricter vehicle load limits. As we wish to respect these regulations, we are required to reduce the load limit on our equipment up to 21% of their normal weight limits.

We are counting on your cooperation when loading our trailers to endure that the maximum weight be respected in order to avoid any carrier or shipper fines.

Dates for the spring thaw 2010:
Zone 1: From Monday March 8 (00 h 01) to Saturday May 8 (00 h 01)
Zone 2: From Monday March 8 (00 h 01) to Saturday May 8 (00 h 01)
Zone 3: From Monday March 15 (00 h 01) to Saturday May 15 (00 h 01)

These dates are subject to change by the ministère des Transports du Québec according to the weather conditions and patterns. Please consult the MTQ web site http://www.mtq.gouv.qc.ca/portal/page/portal/accueil_en to confirm the final dates.

Please do not hesitate to contact us for additional information or click here for details regarding vehicle load limits.
