* Overloaded trucks protected by officials who ignore state regulations
Ho Chi Min,Vietnam -VietNamNet Bridge -31 July 2014: -- In most provinces and cities there are “king” trucks that are under the guarantee of local officials, according to the chair of the Vietnam Automobile Transport Association... Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, chairman of the Vietnam Automobile Transport Association, said that overloaded vehicles are not only damaging the road system but also causing inequality in the transportation business because the transport firms that conform to the rules suffer losses... Thanh said that in most provinces and cities there are groups of “king trucks’ that are protected by local officials, forming interest groups which find ways to combat law enforcement forces and dodge vehicle weighing stations... He praised the provinces that had detected high numbers of overloaded vehicles. He said the others did not find many overloaded trucks because they did not check many vehicles or only checked the vehicles with the proper loading capacity... He suggested not only fining the drivers of overloaded vehicles but also the inspectors who do not detect overloaded trucks and set up weighing stations at toll stations...
