The Ministerial Heavy Vehicle Advisory Panel, in consultation with industry, farming representative groups and Main Roads, have developed a Harvest Mass Management Scheme (HMMS) for the 2009/10 grain harvest.
HMMS will provide flexibility when transporting grain at harvest from paddock to bin.
The scheme encourages operators to load grain to normal levels, however, it will allow for an extra mass concession of up to 10% to cater for the variability of loading. The scheme will be available to vehicles that are suitably rated to safely carry the additional load.
Transport operators wishing to participate in the scheme must register with the grain receiver, not Main Roads.
Participation is voluntary; however, non-participating grain receiver operations will not be able to offer the extra mass allowance to the transport operators delivering grain to their receival depots.
Grain receivers registered with Main Roads:
