Safety — Secure & Compliant Heavy Haulage

National Heavy Haulage is committed to the highest safety standards, where every journey is planned, controlled and compliant.

Our safety record speaks volumes.

We operate to Australian transport regulations and proven best practice, protecting our drivers, clients and every high-value load we move. Our fleet is maintained on a strict schedule, and we train continually to meet evolving standards.

Built-in safety systems for your peace of mind

Our safety framework is embedded across planning, people and equipment, supporting consistent compliance across complex heavy haulage operations.

1. Driver training and certification

All drivers complete formal training aligned with national safety regulations and heavy haulage best practice. Ongoing competency is reinforced through regular toolbox talks, site-specific inductions and operational briefings, so teams stay alert to evolving risks and compliance requirements in various environments.

2. Regular vehicle inspections and maintenance

Every vehicle undergoes scheduled servicing and documented inspections to maintain peak mechanical condition. Pre-start checks, preventative maintenance programs and defect reporting processes reduce risk and support uninterrupted operations when transporting oversized and overdimensional freight through long distances.

3. Load securing protocols

Each load is engineered with advanced restraint systems, verified tie-down methods and multi-stage safety checks. These protocols prevent load shift during transit and maintain vehicle stability across tight clearances and extended haulage routes.

4. Random drug and alcohol testing

We operate a strict random drug and alcohol testing program across our workforce. This proactive approach supports safe decision-making and ensures operators remain fit for duty in high-risk transport settings that require constant focus and control.

Moreover, clear communication and oversight keep safety consistent from dispatch to delivery.

What safety measures are in place for oversized loads?

Oversized movements are managed through detailed risk assessments, engineered load restraint and multiple verification checks before departure. We plan routes around clearances, road conditions and permit requirements, and coordinate escorts where required.

How do you maintain safety standards across remote and long-distance transport?

Remote and long-distance haulage is managed through advanced planning, satellite tracking and active supervision. We assess fatigue risk and maintain constant communication between drivers and operations teams.
