Transport Vehicle

The truck is your working tool, and the law expects it spotless on every front: weight, dimensions, brakes, tachograph and load securing. This cluster breaks down what gets checked on the road and in the workshop, so an inspection never catches you out or costs you an immobilisation.

Here you will find the rules on weights and dimensions (40 and 44 tonnes), the periodic technical inspection and its deadlines, the speed limiter, legal maintenance and the load-securing rules. Practical guides, with concrete figures and what the inspector really looks at.

In practice, almost every fine in this area comes from the same thing: overloading, spreading the weight badly over the axles, or letting the inspection lapse. Control those three and secure the load properly, and you clear the weighbridge and the technical check without surprises.
