The Thaw period Zone 1 in effect monday March 24th !

The Thaw period should begin on monday March 24th in Zone 1!

To all our customers shipping to or from the province of Quebec, the Quebec Minister of Transports announced that the thaw period should starts March 24th in zone 1. 

Sotech Nitram reminds you of important Transport Quebec regulations:  During spring thaw, the roads are 40% more fragile than normal and a single overloaded truck can cause significant damage! To minimize road deterioration during this period, Transport Quebec subjects all carriers to severe vehicle load restrictions and carries out intensive heavy vehicle monitoring operations to protect our road network.

How does this impact your transportation requirements?

• Reduction of load capacity;
• Temporary increase in the demand of equipment;
• Rate fluctuations for certain corridors.
