Are you ready for spring thaw season in Quebec?
The spring thaw period is more than just a regulatory formality. It directly impacts costs, compliance, and safety on Quebec’s roads and job sites. Each spring, pavement load-bearing capacity can decrease by 30 to 70%. To protect the road network, the government imposes load restrictions typically ranging from 8 to 20%, depending on the zone and evolving weather conditions.
For carriers, the balance is delicate:
Exceeding limits exposes you to fines, immobilizations, and costly delays.
Underloading out of caution increases trips and reduces profitability.
The key: load to the maximum permitted — without ever exceeding it.
