Do trucks operate within your supply chain?

New Zealand laws make not only a truck driver responsible for the compliance of trucks on NZ roads, but any other "person" involved that contributed to a truck compliance breach.

A "person" could be a site loading a truck, or a customer of a trucking business.

So you and your business could be held responsible by authorities if an incident occurs involving a truck operated by your business internally, or via an outsourced provider, within your supply chain. For example

• A load is improperly restrained and falls off a truck on a motorway
• A load exceeds legal axle or gross weight limits
• An accident occurs because a truck driver is speeding or operating beyond legal driving hour limits
• You engage an unlicensed truck operator

The LSS Truck Compliance System provides clients with a defence against prosecution for truck compliance breaches, by ensuring that all parties within their supply chain

• Understand their responsibilities for managing truck compliance and safety
• Are accountable for confirming that they comply with these responsibilities
