Before the move
How we plan an Alberta load
Every Alberta move starts with the TEC permit through TRAVIS and any city approvals on the route. Our permitting team checks the size, weight and route against the TEC rules, then sets the pilot and trail vehicles and travel windows the permit calls for.
We plan the border crossing with the customs paperwork, and we haul bonded and non bonded shipments across the Canadian border.
The Friday afternoon, Sunday and holiday limits and the spring axle weights shape the schedule, so we plan the travel days before the permit goes in.

These Alberta rules shape a heavy haul route. Our permitting team checks the current rules for every state on your route. The full list, with every source, is on our Alberta permit rules page.
Permit and escort rules
Official sources linkedRules change. We checked these rules on October 2, 2026 against the TEC permit pages and guides, the Alberta Commercial Vehicle Weights and Dimensions Guide, the Commercial Vehicle Dimension and Weight Regulation (AR 315/2002, as amended by AR 148/2022) and the CBSA memoranda and regulations, and every rule on this page is confirmed by two official sources.

Questions
Alberta heavy haul questions
Do you haul heavy loads in Alberta?
Yes. We are based at 7660 W Third St in Dayton, OH 45417, and we haul oversize and overweight loads across the USA and Canada, including Alberta, with bonded and non bonded shipments across the border. Our permitting team pulls the TEC permit through TRAVIS for the Alberta leg.
Do I need a city approval as well?
Often. A TEC permit is not valid in a city, or a hamlet of more than 10,000 people, without that road authority's approval.
What do you need for the border crossing?
The weight, dimensions, commodity and customs details. The carrier sends eManifest data to CBSA at least 1 hour before arrival.
How heavy a load can you haul?
Our superload service handles loads up to 300,000 lbs, with permits, routing and escorts by our own team.
