Highways and Network Operations and Access and Use have launched the new Vehicle dimension and mass permitting manual (VDAM manual)

The Vehicle dimension and mass permitting manual (VDAM) outlines the NZ Transport Agency’s policies, standards, processes and procedures for the permitting of vehicles exceeding standard dimension and mass limits. 

The manual consists of two volumes:
Volume 1: Information for operating under an overweight, overdimension and HPMV permit
Volume 2: Process and procedure information for permitting staff

What has changed

The manual is the authoritative body of knowledge for all heavy vehicle permitting and supersedes the Transport Agency’s Overweight permit manual and Draft HPMV manual.
