Facts
Authorised Officers intercepted a prime mover in an AB triple combination which was connected to a tri-axle trailer, a tandem axle dolly and two tri-axle trailers. The trailers were loaded with three intermodal shipping containers. Dockets were provided to the Authorised Officers. However, the dockets did not mention the weight of the three containers and their contents. The intercepted AB triple combination was not allowed to operate in Victoria and required a permit which the Company had not obtained. The axle was weighed at 19,380kg which was 117% of the prescribed mass limit. The tri-axle was weighed at 22,980kg which 115% of the prescribed mass limit. The accused entered an early guilty plea and had no prior court matters.
