Hi all,
I have put a call in to the local Weigh Scale for information but thought I would ask here as well to see how widespread the 'issue' is. I will be towing a boat with a beam of 9' 6" (here in BC). The trailer will not be wider than the beam so total width on the road will be 9'6". Are there wide-load considerations when towing this (i.e. do you think I will need to sign the front of the truck/rear of the boat) and flag? 8'6" seems to be the 'legal' cutoff for permit requirements but the verbage is vague as most of the references are to large commercial carriers.
Cheers
