For legal size loads, Ontario is now allowing tractor wheelbase to exceed 244″ as long as the trailer wheelbase is within prescribed limits.
At this time they are still officially restricting oversize and overlength loads to 244″ tractor wheelbase unless special authorization is obtained.
A spread axle group (over 6′ spacing) is allowed and given as much weight as a closed tandem (about 22,000 per axle legal weight).
Ontario gives less weight on lift axles.
