Winter Weights Removed Later This Month
Truckers are advised to closely monitor their loads when using secondary highways in Saskatchewan.
This is the time of year when truckers must reduce the weight of their loads, since all secondary highways revert back to regulation weights. This prevents damaging important roads in the spring.
Winter weights [were] removed effective Wednesday, March 15, 2023 at midnight (12:01 a.m.). Any existing winter weights will be removed and revert back to regulation weight.
To check which highways are impacted by weight restrictions, please visit truck weight classifications and restrictions at saskatchewan.ca/truckingweights.
Commercial truckers and shippers are encouraged to check the status regularly.
Information is also available by contacting the Highway Hotline at www.saskatchewan.ca/highwayhotline or dialing 511.
Technical and regulatory information is available by calling 1-866-933-5290, while truckers outside of Saskatchewan call: 306-933-5290. The line operates weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. except statutory holidays.
