TruckSafe accreditation
TruckSafe is the Australian trucking industry’s voluntary accreditation programme, administered by the Australian Trucking Association. It covers vehicle maintenance, driver health and training, speed management, fatigue management and safe loading.
Our accreditation means fleet maintenance, driver management and operational procedures are audited against national industry standards. It is not awarded permanently — we are audited regularly, and any non-conformance has to be corrected inside a set timeframe.
For you, that is independent assurance the truck arriving on your site meets audited standards for vehicle condition and operator competency.
NHVR compliance
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator sets the rules for heavy vehicle operations across Australia. Our compliance covers registration, mass and dimension limits, load restraint, fatigue management, maintenance schedules and Chain of Responsibility obligations.
Chain of Responsibility is particularly relevant here. Under CoR laws, every party in the transport chain shares responsibility for safety breaches — the towing company included. We take that seriously because our clients depend on us to manage our part of the chain without creating liability for theirs.
Operators carry current NHVR documentation, and vehicles display current registration and compliance plates.
Insurance
Every vehicle in the fleet carries full public liability and goods-in-transit insurance, held with a major Australian insurer and reviewed annually.
In practice that means if something goes wrong during a tow or recovery, the financial exposure is covered rather than argued about. Certificates of currency are available on request for clients who need to verify our status before we work on their sites.
Operator licensing & training
Operators hold the heavy vehicle licence class required for the vehicle they drive — Heavy Rigid, Heavy Combination or Multi-Combination.
Beyond the licence, they hold current traffic control tickets for managing traffic around incident scenes on Queensland roads, and complete annual competency assessments covering recovery techniques, load restraint and emergency procedures.
New operators work a supervised induction alongside experienced crew on real jobs before they operate independently.
