When vehicles exceed a regulated dimension with a single piece of cargo, they can be issued single trip permits through the SGI permit office (In Province: 1-800-667-7575, Out-of-Province: 1-306-775-6969). A permit will allow the vehicle to carry additional cargo provided the cargo does not exceed any other legal dimension in addition to the dimension they are permitted for, in which case they would require a TPA.
