Moving heavy loads without a permit is charged per kilometer: up to 50 t, 30% of BCU; up to 80 t, 1 BCU; 80 t and above, 3 BCU.
The Ministry of Transport has explained how compensation for damage to roads is calculated when heavy and oversize loads are transported without a special permit.
How it is calculated
- the calculation is made for each kilometer of the route;
- for vehicles up to 50 t, 30% of the base calculation unit (BCU); up to 80 t, 1 BCU; 80 t and above, 3 BCU;
- if the actual distance cannot be established, 200 km is used;
- the amount is collected by the Transport Inspectorate and the Road Committee under the Ministry of Transport;
- an administrative fine does not exempt the carrier from compensating the damage.
The rules are set out in Appendix No. 2 to Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 710 of 28.10.2024 (Chapter 3). The size of the BCU is not stated on the agency's page.
What this means for renters
ST24 comment: when ordering a lowboy trailer, a truck-mounted crane or other heavy equipment, ask the contractor whether a transit permit has been obtained. Moving a load without a permit is a risk for both the carrier and the customer, whose schedule depends on the trip.
