Testimonials

Testimonials from Transport Contractor Consultants (TCC Australia) clients.

As a growing family business we are thankful knowing that we are doing everything possible to remain compliant. We know we are always a step ahead and up to date with the forever changing legislations. It’s nice to have someone with all the knowledge and experience that Brendon has looking after our business.

As everyone knows in the past it was a full time job just running a truck, these days however with new legislation from the government and increasing compliance from the principal contractor there isn’t enough hours in the day to keep on top of the paper work let alone make a dollar from the truck. Transport Contractor Consultants put in place all the tools required to make the paperwork a breeze and if God forbid something was to go wrong, it’s reassuring knowing someone’s on your side.

BRENDON is a highly experienced, knowledgeable consultant who has years of experience in the transportation industry. He is very approachable understanding and will work with you to get your business on the right track with staff training, safety compliance and legal requirements. Your business cannot afford to be without BRENDON as part of your team.

We contacted Transport Contractor Consultants for CoR compliance advice and they took care of everything. It was a smooth process, very informative and put our business on the right track to be compliant with current legislations. Highly recommend Brendon from TCC

Brendon and the team set the benchmark within the industry. From day one I have been given nothing but fast, efficient & friendly customer service from the girls in the office and Brendons knowledge and expertise displayed gives me great comfort knowing I am in the best hands.

Hi Brendon, When we received the email from the company we work for about our CoR requirements, at first my mind started to race, and for a moment I felt panic. But then I remembered we had you and I knew that you would explain it to me and be there to ensure that we are on top of the game. Thanks Brendon I really appreciate everything that you do for us

It's such a great service you offer. With the new legislations at the moment you would be crazy to not have this kind of protection. Thank you, Transport Contractor Consultants for always having my back and making it all so easy!

With Chain of Responsibility becoming so important these days you can’t afford to leave yourself liable. I feel safe knowing that I have Brendon and TCC behind me and my business. Brendon’s wealth of knowledge is invaluable and the service he provides is second to none. Don’t wait until it is too late, give them a call and see how they can help you.

Eminently experienced Transport Contractor Consultants specialising in COR and all regulatory compliance issues. I would highly recommend, especially to owner drivers and small fleets who are struggling with today's onerous legislative frameworks

My experience thus far dealing with Brendon and TCC has been second to none. He has a wealth of knowledge and has the right set up for me and my business covering all facets of the Transport/Concrete Industry.

Cartage Contractor Chain of Responsibility (CoR) Audit

Chain of Responsibility (CoR) under Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) require that every party in the heavy vehicle transport supply chain has a duty to ensure the safety of persons associated with their transport activities.

Under CoR responsibilities, all parties who influence, direct or control transport operations in the supply chain share responsibility for compliance with the law and for the safety of heavy vehicle operations even if they have no direct role in driving or operating a heavy vehicle.

This responsibility entails an obligation to eliminate or minimize potential harm or loss (risk) by doing all that is reasonably practicable to ensure the safe and legal transport of goods.

To comply with HVNL it is vital the Company Director has documented evidence i.e. (driver induction sign off and signed policies and procedures) etc that clearly demonstrates that ALL reasonable steps have been taken to minimize any risks associated with the operation of a heavy vehicle.

We provide (CoR) Management Systems that are specifically designed for individual industries, i.e. (Tippers, Tankers, Agi, Waste and Earth Moving Businesses) ensuring they are valid and will immediately fit in with the Company. We provide our services in Queensland (QLD), New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC) and South Australia (SA).

We have designed a comprehensive, user friendly and industry specific CoR Management System that when implemented will ensure Cartage Contractors within the Construction Materials industry will have all of the tools necessary to meet their obligations under CoR legislation.

In the event of an incident where someone is hurt or killed by the Heavy Vehicle the Director would be expected to provide evidence that they have taken ALL reasonable steps to minimise risk in their business.

Have you taken reasonable steps?

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), you are considered to have complied with your COR obligations so long as you have taken ALL reasonable steps or undertaken ALL that was reasonably practical to prevent a breach. You must also demonstrate that you did not know or could not have known that a breach occurred.

Courts will recognise that the duties of parties are personal responsibilities, which cannot be delegated to others. Every person in the chain must satisfy themselves that every vehicle, every load and every driver is compliant with the law on every journey.

In the majority of cases, for a defence to be successful, ALL reasonable steps must have been taken, not just some.
