Performance-based standards (PBS)
Performance-based standards (PBS) offers an alternative regulatory system which allows heavy vehicle combinations to achieve higher productivity and safety through innovative and optimized vehicle designs.
PBS approved vehicles are designed to perform their tasks as productively, safely and sustainably as possible, and to operate on networks that are appropriate for their level of performance. The basic principle of PBS is matching the right vehicles to the right tasks.
The PBS or smart truck framework makes provision for vehicles to be assessed according to 16 minimum vehicle performance standards to ensure they are stable on the road and can turn and stop safely.
Road transport management system (RTMS)
RTMS stands for road transport management system. It is an industry-led voluntary self-regulation scheme that encourages consignees, consignors and road transporters to implement a management system that preserves road infrastructure, improves road safety and increases productivity. The system’s key components are load optimization, driver wellness, vehicle maintenance and productivity.
TAMA TRUCKING specializes in the management of all RTMS components, and to maintain RTMS compliance, we provide JC AUDITORS with monthly reports.
Components of the RTMS are extremely essential to the company and as such, we are truly invested in the entire process of driver wellness, truck maintenance and performing the proper way.
