The ATA cited a need for more on-road enforcement, and for the police to issue a defect notice to any truck found travelling on the flat at more than 100 km/h- a rule that can be amended by TruckSafe.
The ATA has also called for stronger chain of responsibility enforcement against customers that demand unrealistic and unsafe schedules, and for trucking businesses to be notified when an employee commits a traffic offence in a company vehicle.
Since June 2011 all TruckSafe audits examined have complied with the rules and will continue to do so in the future. All TruckSafe accredited businesses are required to comply with stringent speed management rules.
TruckSafe’s effective speed management policy is essential to running a safe trucking business. It is the only trucking industry accreditation program that audits compliance with speed management and speed limiter maintenance requirements.
