Heavy vehicle law covers the rules that owners and drivers of trucks and other heavy vehicles must follow. In South Australia this includes the Road Traffic Act and the Heavy Vehicle National Law. We advise the trucking industry on staying compliant and defend prosecutions when things go wrong.
-
Common breaches include mass and dimension limits, load restraint, fatigue management, log book errors, and permit issues. We provide advice and defence across all of these.
-
Chain of responsibility means everyone in the transport chain — not just the driver — can be held legally responsible for safety and compliance. We help you understand your duties and defend you if a claim arises.
-
We provide advice on compliance and represent you in enforcement matters, whether you're entering a guilty plea or going to trial. Country SA representation is also available.
"The Road Transport Industry is a highly regulated and industrially charged industry and given it is made up of 75% of small to medium sized operations, typically we don't have our own legal departments with the expertise needed to navigate the legal mine field. Such is true of Whiteline, a family business since 1977. Knowing the team at KJK Legal have made it their business to understand trucking and it's challenges is a relief and reassuring when the chips are down, having real leadership, guidance, support and direction to work through the issues. I genuinely sense they care about our issues like it was their own business, and for us, that means the world and allows us to get on with the business of safely and efficiently moving freight and caring for our team, our customers, contractors and suppliers. Thanks Neville and the entire KJK Team."
