Nova Scotia: special-move planning
A special-move application needs the proposed movement and route. Keep any survey or additional review tied to that exact plan.
Record the movement
Assemble the actual combination, loaded dimensions and weights, intended route and movement date. Use Nova Scotia’s official special-move permit resources to establish the current application requirements. Do not treat a dimensional comparison in Highway Match as permission to travel.
- Equipment configuration
- Measured loaded envelope
- Weight evidence
- Proposed route and date
Identify route-review work
Nova Scotia’s special-move guidance discusses route surveys for proposed overheight or overweight movements. Establish what review is required for the actual move through the current official process. Keep structures, overhead constraints and local access segments in the same route record.
- Survey requirements
- Structures and overheads
- Origin and destination access
- Responsible road authorities
Keep conditions with the final arrangement
Retain the issued conditions and the equipment information used in the application. If the trailer, load posture or route changes, resolve the effect through the appropriate authority before relying on the earlier review. Fees and numerical thresholds are intentionally left to current official guidance.

- Configuration revision
