As of Saturday, June 1, 2024, commercial vehicles with dump boxes that can rise above 4.15 meters are required under BC’s Motor Vehicle Act Regulations to have in-cab warning devices installed to alert the driver when the dump box is raised.

Drivers with vehicles not properly equipped with a visual or audio warning device may face a $598 fine, as announced by the Province in December 2023. Violations will also be recorded against a carrier’s National Safety Code profile. The new regulation applies to all commercial vehicles that fit this description operating in BC, including those from out of province.
