It seems to me the trailer weight is not part of the GVWR, but comes under the GCVWR. The truck GVW would include the pin/tongue weight of the trailer though.

The ICBC publications make it sound like actual weight matters, not the GVW.

I'd like to see it bumped up a little, to 5,000kg (11,000 lbs) just because I see an awful lots of trailers at the 10,500 mark where I don't think the endorsement is needed. They are no more complex...

This is not a new law in any respect. The only thing that has happened recently is the news story and a little more visibility into the law.

There is no timing issue here.

I agree with the family's comments that it should have been brought up by the person who did the licensing. I really don't know why they allow you to insure it if you can't tow it.

Okay. I think I get it now.

Class 07 is not under the commercial driving rules, and class 20 is. So, while they kinda get lumped together in the ICBC brochures, they seem to be pretty different.

To further add to the confusion, one site say you need a medical for a class 20, but the fact sheet linked on that very page says nothing about it.

Is there a link to show this? I've googled the Class 20 endorsement but don't see anything about it expiring.

Thanks.

Yet people do it all the time. Lots of trailers over 10K where I doubt the owners have the endorsement. Why I'm curious how they get insured.

Curious if ICBC will insure a trailer with a GVW over 4600kg if the driver doesn't have the endorsement? Seems weird.

I'm glad you brought this up. I actually called ICBC on this a few weeks ago to see what's involved, and got really screwy answers.

From what the lady said, I'd have to go back to a "N" for some...
