PBS access, ODL & railway permits

Practical support with PBS access, over dimensional load and railway permits, bringing together your vehicle details, proposed routes and movement requirements.

Plan the movement. Prepare the permits.

Truckcert helps operators work through PBS access permits, over dimensional load (ODL) permits and railway permits. Start with the vehicle combination, its load and the route you intend to use so we can discuss the application support your movement needs.

PBS access permits

A PBS vehicle’s approval and its road access requirements need to be considered together. We can help you work through the proposed route, vehicle details and information needed for an access application. The relevant access pathway depends on the combination and whether an applicable notice covers the movement.

ODL permits

Over dimensional loads require careful planning around the vehicle, load dimensions and intended route. Discuss your movement with Steven so we can identify the permit information and supporting details needed for your project.

Railway permits

Where your proposed movement involves railway or tramway crossings, additional permissions may be required. Truckcert can help prepare the route, vehicle and load information needed to work through the relevant railway permit requirements.

Permit requirements and decisions depend on the movement and the relevant authorities. We will discuss the scope of support for your route and vehicle before the application work begins.

What to prepare

You can start with the information you already have:

  • Vehicle and trailer specifications, PBS approvals and existing permits
  • Overall dimensions, load details, axle information and operating masses
  • Your proposed route, site access and any railway or tramway crossings
  • Planned movement dates, travel frequency and relevant supporting documents

From intended journey to permit requirements.

  1. Outline the vehicle combination, load, proposed route and timing of your movement.
  2. Discuss the applicable access, ODL and railway requirements and gather the supporting information.
  3. Agree on the application support and work through further information requested during assessment.
