[SLED PERMIT ORDERS]

I just don't understand why the process doesn't work as advertised - every other on-line purchase I have made in my entire on-line purchasing experience has worked flawlessly, Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Kijiji from US and Canada, and any number of other merchandisers. I just received a large 3'by 4' under engine shield for my wife's car all the way from China, it arrived in 7 days, and I could track it practically every step of the way!

 

I paid an extra $10 for tracking on my Ontario trail pass, in that my address, being a unit number with no one home during the day, has to be monitored. I was lucky to get the Purolator "not at home when we were here" sticker as it was fastened on an outside window! There was no email communication at all, except when I emailed the OFSC to find out why I had not received a confirmation message. Second year in a row of troubles in this regard.

 

It is tiresome to compare to the Quebec trail pass online system, but received my trail passes from there, two bought at different times, received in 5 days, insurance refund in about 8 days. OFSC needs to hire some professionals.

hey Ox - This would make an excellent signature line for you....stretch it out a bit for effect "I am familiar....but not concerned." (not too much of a market for skidoo recoils I would not think!)

 

 

The process of ordering worked great for me, just the delivery from Purolator was a bit of a problem.     i ordered the tracking with mine and it was a good idea possibly, because purolator brought it 2 times to my local drop off point but failed to call me.   They brought it back to their bracebridge location saying it had the wrong address, and finally called me after 2 weeks of being driven around parry sound region.  I did end up getting it after a few calls to purolator (not fun).   OFSC's part seemed to work well for me, just the shipping problem..  wished they would have used Canada Post for my circumstances.   if i remember last year i did not get the tracking and it came by Canada Post.

If the truck and trailer combined gross weight is over 4,500kg you need yellow stickers.

 

Technically any tandem axle trailer needs a yellow sticker.  

 

 

taking in consideration that the towing vehicle is NOT commercial and registered for under 4500kg, it is not that simple, if the towed trailer is under 2800kg (actual weight) regardless of 1 or 2 axles it does not get added on to the truck weight, and you do not have to register the truck to account for this weight.   if you have a trailer that is over 2800 kg (actual weight) you would have to add the trailer weight to the actual weight of the truck, which in this case it would most likely put you over 4500lbs  would require a sticker.   http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/trucks/commercial-vehicle-faq.shtml

 

There are no laws as far as i am aware that would force you to get a sticker for a 2 axle trailer if you can fall within the above weights.   i am not saying that you may not need one...if you are pulling ANY trailer with a stickered truck you need to have a sticker on the trailer regardless, even if it is your 12' aluminum boat.

 

seems to be some misleading and wrong information about towing on this forum.  I would suggest if anyone is still feeling overwhelmed with the information, stop in at a weigh scale and ask the mto directly and get the proper information directly from the inspectors. 

 

If i remember right, EVERY year this subject gets brought up and some of the same information is circulated again and again........
