Application for goods carriage permit
AI Assist
Summary
An application for a goods carriage permit must give specific particulars: the area or route(s), vehicle type and capacity, and the nature of goods to be carried. It must also state arrangements for housing, maintenance and repair of the vehicle and for storage and custody of goods, previous carrier business details and rates, any agreements affecting transport facilities, and any other prescribed particulars. The Regional Transport Authority uses these details to consider the permit.

She lists the routes, the truck type and capacity, that she will carry shop stock, her garage and repair arrangements, prior work as a carrier and her rates, and an agreement with another transporter; with these particulars the Regional Transport Authority can process her permit.
