Sask G drivers lic. Heavy trailer/farm plated trucks

Our new trailer is over 10,000 pounds and I pull with "farm F " plated truck. Which means I am NOT required to have the "G" (heavy trailer) endorsement ...in Saskatchewan.


Some say the G is good to have if out of the province.... "just in case". Is this true or should the fact that the truck qualifies me in Saskatchewan be good where ever?

    Same way in the US. I know most states have laws about only using farm plates for farm business. I can't speak for other states, but that IS enforced in TX.


    Shoot, just make sure to visit a few implement dealers or some other ag facility, and you're "on business". If you have a business credit card, charge everything to it. :-) That's how we got our vacations for decades as members of the International Flying Farmers. We'd go to our annual convention and workshop and would write them off as "business" expenses since we'd be touring various farming and production facilities as well as helping lobbyists deal with both farming and general aviation legislation from the State/Provincial levels to D.C./Quebec.

  • We have been down several times. Always on F plates. It's the only truck we have. Two years ago Home Land really Checked us over at Bolder. Never noted or asked about plates.
