Went to Calgary with Dodge dually shortbox , camper and 22' car trailer. Went thru Duke Point , measured 51', $262 bucks to Tsawwassen .
On the way back , same setup, Jeep on the trailer go thru Horseshoe Bay. Ferry lady measured up, went in booth, made a call, remeasured, went and looked hard at the back of my rig/trailer. Called someone again and said I was a commercial vehicle , $329 for a one way trip.
Parked and spoke to a manager , was given a hand out. A vehicle or combination of vehicles/ trailer over 5500 kg's now get bumped up to the commercial rate.
Spoke to my local ICBC office, they have had similar complaints
Q: What is considered a Commercial Vehicle?
A: A*commercial vehicle is any vehicle or trailer with a Registered Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) of over 5,500 kg or 12,100 lb.* You can make your commercial vehicle reservation on line for commercial vehicles up to 9 feet wide. A combined truck and trailer constitute a commercial rate even if the tow vehicle is registered for less than 5500 kgs
Am I just cheap or is $660 round trip to Vancouver abit much?
