Nine-axle lumber truck-and-trailer combinations are now approved to travel on some BC logging routes, Premier David Eby announced at the 2025 Council of Forest Industries convention in Prince George on Friday, April 4. …Eby presented more forestry-specific commentary and announcements this time around to hundreds of delegates in the Civic Centre’s main hall. The premier said as part of the conversation on making it easier and less costly for fibre products to get to mills, the province was approving the use of nine-axle truck and trailer combinations. A media release sent out by the provincial government the same afternoon said approval was granted for “some logging routes” without providing further specifics. The province has mulled over granting permission to nine-axle combinations for years, at one point appointing a committee to investigate the safety and road impacts they would have on BC highways.
