The Axle-Weight Pilot has been extended for another year. Last year, 400 data points were collected. The goal of the pilot is to collect 1,000 data points.

 

MTO has agreed to staff weigh-scales to help collect data over the coming weeks. The scale lights will NOT be on – trucks will simply enter the scale, weigh-in, and be off on their way.

As a token of appreciation of the truckers who volunteer their time towards the weigh-ins, OSSGA is sponsoring a lucky draw for a $1,000 prepaid VISA card. Every weigh-in will be entered into the draw automatically.
