    Cargo Trailer Crackdown

    Has anyone been following this? All trailers with a GVR of over 2800kg need a yearly inspection ( yellow sticker ) along with the tow vehicle even if not commercial. You also have to go to Service Ontario and pay extra for a sticker to up the GVR of your vehicle. People in the Sault are getting hammered. Thoughts??

    Sounds like it is a specific requirement.


    1. the total gross weight, registered gross weight (RGW) or manufacturer’s gross vehicle weight rating (MGVWR) of the vehicle exceeds 4,500 kg or 9,920 lbs.

    or

    1. the combined weight of the vehicle and towed trailer or converter dolly exceeds 4,500 kg or 9,920 lbs.

    Does anyone recall a rash of accidents as a result of trailer issues?
    It's the Liberal government. Of course it's for revenue.

    Agreed, this is not new.

    2800KG is 6100lbs trailer and load. Even a car at 4000 and 2000 lbs trailer is under the exemption.

    WTF are you hauling? lol.

    Travel trailers are exempt. Any enclosed or flatbed trailer rated at over 2800 kg must be inspected yearly along with the tow vehicle. My trailers are rated at 3175 kg as are most car haulers. New law came into affect end of 2016. Just starting to enforce it now.

    A single car hauler open bed would not be over that with basic 3500lbs axles.

    Agreed, 7000lbs axles or enclosed are over and both need a sticker.

    Not hard to exceed 6000lbs. Newer late model car is easily over 4k and a my last 2 enclosed trailers each tipped scales near 2500.

    But yes, these rules aren't new, stupid but not new.
