Why Québec Fleets Run Hanksugi

Québec is Canada's second-largest freight market and the bilingual gateway between the Great Lakes / Hwy 401 artery and the Atlantic provinces. The Port of Montréal handles ~35 million tonnes annually as North America's largest inland container port, while the Port de Québec moves 25M+ tonnes of bulk cargo on the Saint Lawrence. Hwy 20 (Montréal–Québec City ~250 km) and Hwy 40 (north-shore Montréal–Québec) form the spine of Québec long-haul, with Hwy 10 handling Eastern Townships cross-border freight to Vermont / New Hampshire.

Québec enforces Canada's strictest winter mobility regime. The Loi concernant les pneus d'hiver (Québec Highway Safety Code s. 440.1) mandates dedicated winter tires on passenger and light-commercial vehicles from December 1 through March 15. While heavy commercial trucks (GVWR >4,536 kg) are exempt from the dedicated winter-tire mandate, M+S branding on drive tires is the de facto carrier-insurance and SAAQ-recommended standard — and every Hanksugi line carries M+S with -40°C cold-weather compound. HS26+ Zeus Grip is Québec's preferred open-shoulder drive for Saguenay, Côte-Nord and Abitibi forestry routes where Hwy 175, Hwy 138 and Hwy 117 require aggressive snow traction five months a year.

Frequently Asked Questions — Québec

Are Hanksugi commercial truck tires legal under Québec's winter tire law?

The HS88 long-haul drive paired with HS78 FARAON steer is the matched set for Hwy 20 Montréal–Québec City (~250 km) and Hwy 40 north-shore Québec–Ottawa. SmartWay-verified HATT compound delivers the lowest cost-per-km on Québec's busiest freight arteries.
