I drive a small truck. How much overhang is permitted on loads?

Question:
I have been asked to deliver a load on a small truck and it over hangs at the back, what is the permitted overhang on the a vehicle. I thought it was about 18" but my employer says its 1 metre. Whose right??

Answers:

is the three way automatic stop sign sign invented by Garrett A Morgan the same as a traffic lights we use?

Go with whatever your happy with, at the end of the day it'll be you that ends up in court if the load is classed as dangerous not your employer. If your employer insists it it 1 Meter ask him to show you proof for your peace of mind and if he can't just say no.

You can have a overhang of over three metres according to the ministry, but for loads upto 1 metre a red flag must be attached to the back of the load so it is clearly visable.
Although you must be aware of the weight also.
