Types of transport services
There are four types of transport services and each one has its own rules and regulations that drivers must comply with. In most cases it means holding an appropriate transport service licence in order that they can run a business with safe practices.
Goods service

Gross laden weight is the greatest of the following:
- any weight specified as a vehicle's gross laden weight by the vehicle's manufacturer

- the weight of a vehicle together with any load it is carrying, including any equipment and accessories.
