ABOUT THE NATIONAL HEAVY VEHICLE REGULATOR (NHVR).

In April the Department of Transport transferred the role of of providing on-road compliance and enforcement to the NHVR. The heavy vehicle industry can expect to see compliance officers working Queensland roads. So if your heavy vehicle is stopped, the officers have authority to carry out inspections to see if you get the tick for compliance.
On road compliance includes: mass, dimension, load restraint, vehicle standards, drive fatigue, work diaries, requirements for the approval of transporting dangerous goods/explosives, licensing and registration. Expect infringements if you don’t meet the requirements or worse, prosecution for more serious offences. Check out their website nhvr.gov.au.
Talk to us if you need to know more, we are aiming to provide truck-compliant-safety-certifcates soon. It’s just a few more challenging hurdles dealing with our industry friends at front counters at the Department of Transport to get the go-ahead. If you have your compliance don’t forget to put the sticker adjacent to the driver’s side door (at eye level).

Our goal is to share our knowledge and some of the common issues we’ve identified or get overlooked and keep you up to speed on industry changes, legislation, rules and …you get the picture.

Phibb News will give you problem solving case studies, tips and guides to save money and wasted time. Sometimes the solution is far more simple than first advised. Get it right first time, talk to us.
