The Road Traffic Law: Foundation for All Transportation Activities

First and foremost is the Road Traffic Law, considered the indispensable “textbook” for all vehicle owners and transportation businesses. This law clearly stipulates regulations regarding load capacity, truck dimensions, and transportation business conditions.

For example, Mr. Nguyen Van A, owner of a transportation company in Ha Dong, shared: “Since the new Road Traffic Law was enacted, I’ve had it printed and distributed to every driver in the company. As a result, violations related to overloading and exceeding size limits have significantly decreased, providing peace of mind for the business.”

In addition to the Road Traffic Law, numerous other legal documents pertain to transportation business operations, such as Decree 10/2020/ND-CP on business and conditions for transportation by car, and Circular 55/2015/TT-BGTVT on training, testing, and issuing driver’s licenses. A thorough understanding of these regulations and Party policies and state laws is crucial for smooth and successful transportation business operations.

The Importance of Legal Compliance in the Trucking Industry

Clearly, strict adherence to state laws and regulations in the trucking sector is paramount, not only for individuals and businesses but also for society as a whole.

For individuals and businesses:

• Avoids legal risks and administrative penalties.
• Enhances the company’s reputation and image with partners and customers.
• Contributes to a healthy and transparent transportation business environment.

For society as a whole:

• Ensures traffic order and safety, minimizing accidents.
• Protects transportation infrastructure and extends the lifespan of constructions.
• Improves the efficiency of transportation operations, contributing to socio-economic development.

However, alongside legitimate businesses, there still exist cases of intentional legal violations, such as overloading, unauthorized truck modifications, and the use of forged documents. These actions negatively impact traffic safety and cause public concern.

According to lawyer Le Van B, a specialist in traffic law: “All legal violations must be dealt with strictly under the law. For violations in the trucking sector, penalties vary depending on the nature and severity of the violation, ranging from administrative fines to criminal prosecution.”

Beyond penalties, violating businesses and individuals may face business license revocation, suspension of operations, or even permanent bans. This is not to mention the damage to the company’s finances, reputation, and image.
