Safety isn't a box we tick — it's how we run.
As both a carrier and a labour supplier, Overload manages its obligations end to end — NHVR-compliant, fully insured, with auditable systems and a Safety Management System aligned to Chain of Responsibility.
Chain of Responsibility
Everyone in the chain, accountable.
Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, every party who controls or influences a transport task — not just the driver — has a legal duty to keep the road safe. Here's how we hold up our end.
Mass & loading
Freight is matched to vehicle capacity and secured correctly — no overloaded axles, no loads shifting in transit.
Fatigue
Runs and rosters are planned within legal driving-hour and rest limits. No driver is ever pressured to skip rest or push past their hours.
Speed
Schedules are built to be met at legal speeds. No delivery window is worth an unsafe truck on the road.
Driver standards
Every driver — our own fleet and our labour hire — is licensed, inducted and screened before they start a job.
Vehicle standards
Vehicles are maintained and roadworthy, with defects reported and rectified before they carry your freight.
Working together
We work with customers on realistic timeframes and accurate freight details, so everyone's CoR duties are met from booking to delivery.
Insurance & licensing
Covered, licensed and auditable.
Certificates of currency are available on request.
Public liability
$20,000,000 public liability insurance in place.
