Red Semi-Trailer Truck on Highway in Countryside Those businesses and individuals who own or operate commercial trucks with a weight exceeding 4,500 kilograms must complete a mandatory registration process known as Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration (CVOR). Additionally, these owners or operators may face distinct charges, separate from those levied against the driver, for any infractions of the Highway Traffic Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, as well as various other laws that pertain to users of the road.

Common Issues

Typical CVOR concerns include vehicle fitness, overloading, insecure loadings, lackings within logbooks, improper or expiry of licensing, among other things, and all as additional to the charges against the commercial vehicle driver.  Charges against a CVOR may be laid by a police officer or an Ontario Ministry of Transportation ("MTO") officer for prosecution within the Ontario Court of Justice per the court rules and procedures prescribed within the Provincial Offences Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. P.33, including the regulations thereto.

Inspection Authority

Within the framework of the Highway Traffic Act, specifically under section 82.1, there are mandates governing the inspection of commercial vehicles. The mandates aim to ensure the safety and roadworthiness of commercial vehicles, protecting both the operators and the public. It is imperative for commercial vehicle operators and the vehicle drivers to comply with the inspection mandates that help to ensure the roadworthiness of commercial vehicles and thereby contribute to road safety.
