If there are different values ​​of interaxle distances in axle groups, each distance between axles is assigned a value obtained by arithmetic averaging (the sum of all interaxle distances in the group is divided by the number of interaxle distances in the group). The center distance, obtained by arithmetic averaging, is assigned to two-axis and three-axle groups to determine the permissible load.

Appendix No. 4

to the Rules for Cargo Transportation
by car

Intercity and international cargo transportation is one of the most popular transportation services today. Such popularity arose as a result of the presence of undeniable advantages compared to other types of transportation. But in order for the process of delivery of various types of cargo to be safe for both the client and the company, it is necessary to strictly comply with the established requirements and recommendations regulated by legislative acts.

The main document on the basis of which cargo transportation is carried out is the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation On the approval of the Rules for transportation by road. This legislative act regulates the procedure for cargo transportation by road, starting with the stage of drawing up documentation and ending with the receipt of the transported cargo.

Stage one - drawing up a contract

A contract is an official document regulating the rights and obligations of the parties during cargo transportation. The contract is drawn up only in writing; this process insures the parties against the occurrence of force majeure circumstances.

The application for cargo transportation is reviewed within 3 days, after which the carrier informs the client about the decision made. If you need to transport large, heavy or dangerous goods, the contractor provides calculations about the route, availability of permission and the date of fulfillment of obligations. The client can also request a complete list of the cost of services, and the carrier must provide it before signing the contract.

Confirmation of the transaction is accompanied by the preparation of a consignment note, and it is drawn up in triplicate - for the sender, the carrier and the recipient.

Signing of this document is possible remotely, via fax or e-mail (previously), but the contract receives official status after the parties exchange a package of documents with wet seals. If changes are made to the waybill, before the goods are sent, all corrections are certified by the signatures of the parties.

If several types of vehicles are used for cargo transportation, a separate invoice is drawn up for each type of transport.

In order for both parties to have the opportunity to fulfill their obligations to each other, the contract specifies a time frame for each stage, namely:

    loading;

    unloading;

    customs clearance;

    loading and unloading onto another vehicle;

    downtime due to weather conditions;

    direct delivery.

The hourly rate during loading and unloading is not taken into account during the preparation of additional equipment. This point is very important, since during cargo transportation, time counts in money and every minute of downtime is unprofitable.

Each correctly drawn up contract must have a clause of responsibility of the parties during loading and unloading, delivery, safety, in case of force majeure circumstances. Also, the procedure for resolving disputes and conflict situations, the procedure for paying penalties and damages to one or another party must be prescribed.

By observing the above points, each party has the opportunity to protect itself from unnecessary waste.

Stage two - loading

According to the signed agreement, the carrier must provide the required vehicles at the agreed time, and the client must provide the cargo at the place specified in the agreement. At the time of delivery of the cargo, the shipper must make sure that the transport corresponds to what is stated in the contract, in terms of carrying capacity, and the presence of additional equipment.

Delivery of vehicles with violations is equivalent to failure to fulfill the conditions and entails the responsibility of the cargo carrier.

Cases when the shipper has the right to refuse services:

    the means is not suitable for transporting goods;

    The transport arrived in violation of time standards. Lateness is considered to be a delay of more than 2 hours;

    failure to present or the driver does not have an identity document or waybill.

To avoid any disagreements in the future, the client must indicate in the documentation the actual time of arrival and departure of the vehicle after loading. In case of any claims against the vehicle, driver or additional equipment, the client indicates them in the invoice.

Cases when the cargo carrier has the right to refuse to provide services:

    the cargo is partially or completely unprepared for loading;

    does not have established packaging or labeling;

    has a technically faulty container or package;

    the weight of the cargo does not correspond to the declared weight in the contract.

When preparing cargo for shipment, the client is obliged to mark the goods in accordance with established requirements.

If, during the provision of cargo by the sender, there is a need to reload the container from one vehicle to another, an entry is made in the accompanying sheet, which indicates the time of delivery, the condition of the container and the presence of seals after loading. The client can also indicate in it information that the other party is obliged to fulfill.

The shipper, in accordance with established requirements, provides the necessary equipment for loading.

The cargo is secured using belts, chains, eyelets, anti-slip mats and other devices to ensure the safety and appearance of the goods. During loading, it is prohibited to use nails, staples and other devices, the use of which could damage the goods and the vehicle.

After loading is completed, the container and body of the car are sealed by the client, and all measures are taken to ensure that the stamp is clearly visible. Transportation with blurred prints or broken seals is prohibited.

Third stage - unloading

Upon arrival of the cargo for unloading, the consignee notes the time and date of delivery of the vehicle, the integrity of the seals and the body.

In case of damage to the goods during transportation, the client has every right to refuse payment and demand compensation for the damage caused.

If the goods are delivered in compliance with all specified conditions, the client accepts the goods, making the necessary notes in the invoice. Subsequently, the consignee takes measures to clear the vehicle of cargo residues. By agreement, this step can be performed by the driver, but at a cost.

If a delay in the arrival of transport with cargo is detected, the client may consider the cargo lost and claim compensation for damage in the following cases:

    in urban and suburban transportation - after the expiration of 10 days;

    in intercity transportation - more than 30 days.

Some features of cargo transportation

The weight of cargo transportation when sent in bulk, in containers or in bulk is indicated by the consignor, and when accepted - by the consignee. Also, the client is obliged to indicate the limits of cargo loss during transportation, in accordance with generally accepted standards.

When transporting perishable goods, the client is obliged to indicate temperature conditions in the documentation, and the carrier is obliged to strictly observe them.

Cargo transportation is a common service sector. In order for the loading and transportation process to be successful, standards must be observed. How to organize cargo transportation correctly? What documents are required? How to deliver cargo safely? Read about this in the article.

The legislative framework

The most popular type of cargo transportation is road. The rules governing this type of transportation are reflected in various laws, orders of the Ministry of Transport and traffic rules (TRAF). These documents complement each other and describe the nuances associated with cargo transportation. The main regulatory legal acts establishing the rules for the transportation of goods by road include:

General provisions

The traffic rules and government decree No. 272 ​​indicate the key characteristics of oversized cargo, its volume and important parameters of the vehicle. Cargo is allowed to be transported if it:

  • firmly attached to the vehicle;
  • does not interfere with the driver’s control of the car while driving;
  • does not limit the driver's visibility;
  • does not cover vehicle identification marks and lighting devices;
  • does not produce loud noise;
  • does not create a dust cloud around the car;
  • does not damage the road surface.

Separate requirements are established for the transportation of oversized cargo. The load is considered large if it protrudes beyond the rear and front of the vehicle by more than one meter, and from the sides by more than 40 centimeters. In such cases, a special sign with a reflective coating is installed on the vehicle. According to GOST, the sign looks like this:

*Dimensions are in millimeters.

Parameters of the vehicle for transporting cargo

The parameters of the machine used to transport goods must not differ from the maximum permissible ones. The maximum length of a single vehicle or trailer is 12 meters, a road train is 20 meters. The width of all vehicles is 2.55 meters, isometric bodies are 2.6 meters. The height of all vehicles is 4 meters. These figures include the size of containers and swap bodies.

Special requirements are imposed on the weight of the vehicle, depending on its type, the location of the axles and their number.

Single cars:

Saddle and trailed road trains:

In the process of organizing cargo transportation, the permissible axial load on the roadway is taken into account. It varies from 6 to 12 tons.

Documentation for cargo transportation

In order to guarantee the safety and delivery of cargo to the final destination, contractual relations are built between the carrier and the shipper. They are accompanied by documents, samples of which can be found in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated April 15, 2011. No. 272.

Transportation contract

The process of concluding a contract occurs in stages:

  • submitting an application to the carrier in free form (written);
  • consideration of the application within 3 calendar days;
  • decision on acceptance or refusal of the application.

If the application is approved, the details and terms of the contract are discussed. In this case, the shipper has the right to demand a full price list from the carrier at any time.

Waybill

In parallel with the main contract, a waybill (TN) is made. It includes 17 items containing detailed information about the shipper, consignee, characteristics of the cargo, accompanying documents, etc.

You can view the invoice and download it.

The waybill must be in triplicate. The first one remains with the shipper, the second one is transferred to the consignee and the third one is transferred to the carrier. One invoice is issued for one vehicle.

Charter agreement

The documentary base of rules for the transportation of goods was supplemented in 2017 with a charter agreement (work order agreement). This type of agreement is concluded if one person acts as the shipper and consignee or when renting a car for transportation. A charter agreement is also drawn up in situations where keeping records of the movement of inventory items is not required.

A sample charter agreement can be downloaded.

Requirements for vehicle delivery, acceptance and loading

The vehicle for cargo transportation must comply with the technical conditions specified in the contract. Providing an unsuitable vehicle is equivalent to the carrier’s inability to provide the vehicle. A driver delay of more than 2 hours is tantamount to being late. This may become a basis for the customer to refuse the carrier's services.

At the loading site, the waybill records the time and date of arrival of the vehicle, the condition of the packaging, the number of containers and vans for loading. The consignment note records the cargo’s compliance with standards (labeling, type, weight parameters).

In case of necessary dismantling of vehicle containers, an accompanying statement is drawn up. It specifies the temperature regime, data on compliance with sanitary, epidemiological and customs requirements for certain types of cargo.

Loading is the responsibility of the consignor; receipt and unloading of the container is the responsibility of the consignee.

Ensuring cargo safety

Before dispatch, the cargo is packaged in different containers. Each container is sealed by the shipper. The sealing process is governed by the following rules:

  • the seal must have distinctive features (name, company logo, date);
  • the fact of filling is recorded in the TN;
  • fillings must be without visible damage;
  • the seal is installed 1 piece on the doors of vans, containers, and for tanks - on the hatch cover;
  • the seal is placed on the wire and compressed with a vice;
  • It is prohibited to break or squeeze the seal during transportation.

Transportation of different types of cargo

Rules for the transportation of dangerous goods

Dangerous goods (DG) include any gases, radioactive, toxic, explosive substances, flammable liquids, and peroxides. Their transportation is carried out in vehicles equipped for this type of cargo. Transportation of exhaust gas is an event that takes into account many nuances:

  • GOSTs regulate the requirements for containers and machines for the transportation of dangerous goods. This information is indicated in the technical documentation when sending the goods.
  • For regular transportation of dangerous goods, the machine is additionally equipped with an exhaust pipe. The fuel tank must not come into contact with thermal or electrical sources.
  • The car is painted in different colors. It depends on the type of exhaust gas. Flammable compounds - orange, gases - blue, spontaneously combustible - white and red.
  • The vehicle must have grounding, a durable housing, insulated ventilation, and special signs.
  • The use of more than 1 trailer for transportation is prohibited.

Rules for the transportation of perishable goods

The main segment of perishable goods is industrial products and vegetation. This specific type of cargo is transported in accordance with the standards established by law. The key ones are:

  • Creation of optimal temperature conditions in containers;
  • Compliance with shelf life, packaging and sanitary requirements;
  • Availability of a veterinary and sanitary authority policy (for meat products);
  • Cleaning containers after cargo delivery;
  • Indication in the cargo specification document of the temperature of the cargo at the time of loading.

Fines for violating cargo transportation rules

Improper organization of cargo transportation entails the imposition of penalties on the cargo carrier. Their list is detailed in Art. 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Fines vary in size and can be roughly divided into 4 categories:

Cargo transportation is a long process, the correct organization of which is guaranteed by the shipper and consignee. The main thing is not to violate the requirements of the law and comply with the instructions of supervisory authorities.
