New Law
On
Overloads
17.5.07
National Transport Commission (NTC) Chief Executive Nick Dimopoulos has welcomed the start of new laws in South Australia which target the underlying causes of overloading and poorly-secured loads on heavy vehicles.
The South Australian compliance and enforcement legislation requires all parties in the logistics chain ñ including the users of freight services ñ to take ìreasonable stepsî to prevent an on-road offence.
ìDrivers have traditionally carried the can for the bad business practices of others,î Mr Dimopoulos said.
ìIf your actions ñ or lack of action ñ result in an overloaded or poorly loaded truck, you will be held accountable.
ìI encourage all parties in the transport chain to understand how these new laws impact on your business.î
