Once you have rented your vehicle, you must not forget to:

These are obligations you must conform to, in order to avoid unpleasant consequences....

To drive a 2 axle truck with a net weight of 4 500 kg or more, you must hold a Class 3 driving licence.

A Class 3 licence is also required for trucks with 3 axles or more, no matter the weight. As per section 209.1 of the Quebec Highway Safety Code, any person driving a road vehicle without being the holder of a valid licence may have his vehicle seized and be fined a minimum of 300$. For more details, visit the SAAQ website.

When you are driving a vehicle of 3000kg or more net weight, you are required to stop at all SAAQ weigh stations (when in service). You may be fined a minimum of 300$ if you fail to do so.

The load must be well secured or properly covered in order to avoid any parts from moving or flying from the vehicle.

No load can be placed or covered in such a way to reduce the driver's field of view, destabilize the vehicle or its driving. At all times lights and flashers must be visible. Fines may vary between 90$ and 350$.
