We at Maersk constantly strive to provide reliable and innovative products to our customers. In order to continue offering our high quality and unmatched reliability, we would like to alert you to changes in Quebec Weight Levels for 2022 based on the Spring Thaw Period.
The Quebec Ministry of Transport has issued its regulations for the annual Spring Thaw Period. This restriction is placed by the local authorities to account for road network’s lower weight bearing capacity during the annual thaw period. The weight restrictions apply to all truck movement to and from Quebec. To comply with the regulations - Maersk will implement the following maximum acceptable cargo weight restrictions.
