Axle weight limits in Canada and Yukon
Are they the same as USA ? Here we can be 24k on a single axle on Interstates. Have never been stopped and weighed in an rv so not too concerned but still like to know the regs.

In BC it all depends on what drivers licence you have as well as the type and size of vehicle.
For me with a regular class 5 drivers license I can only tow 10,000 lbs loaded.
After 10,000 lbs you have to get a endorsement on your drivers license which required a road test hauling the rig that weighs over 10,000 lbs as well it must be in a veihcal that can pull that weight. I think, if I recall correctly you even need a physical but it may have changed.
I also believe that if you are driving one of them big motor coaches with air breaks you also need that endorsment on your license.
In Alberta it is hugely different from BC and I have no idea about the Yukon.
If I am incorrect please correct me, however I know the class 5 is correct.
Soup.
