Facts
In September 2022, Safety and Compliance Officers inspected a white Table-Top truck in Yennora NSW. The driver advised officers that their employer had instructed them to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was over mass on the second axle group by 2 tonnes or 122%. The company was charged with a severe risk mass offence. Officers identified a minor risk breach on the vehicle’s gross mass but did not issue a penalty notice. The defendant voluntarily entered into a Supervisory Intervention Order (SIO), the terms of which were relatively onerous.
As reported by NHVR.
