Without haulage permits, no legal freight transport can take place. A haulage permit is an official authorization from competent authorities that allows a transport operator to commercially carry goods by road. The permit comes with conditions: specified routes, weight limits per axle or gross vehicle weight, and often restrictions on the number of domestic transport trips (cabotage) permitted within a jurisdiction. Freight carriers must renew these permits regularly and demonstrate ongoing compliance.
