Transport industry players have developed a self-regulatory Charter in response to the challenge of dealing with issues affecting overloading through co-operation rather than detailed legislation.
The charter, to be signed next month, has been drafted by a committee bringing together eight private sectors and seven public organisations.
The charter outlines key performance indicators and responsibilities of various agencies involved in cargo transport.
