Goods transport in public hire service

Goods transport for third parties in public hire service refers to a type of activity where goods are transported upon direct request from a client, similar to how taxi services operate, but applied to goods instead of people. In this case, the service does not follow fixed routes or schedules but adapts to the specific needs of the customer requesting the transport.

This activity is regulated by specific laws that define the conditions required to operate. To use a vehicle for this type of service, a specific authorization must be obtained. The vehicle’s registration document is issued only after this authorization is granted, confirming that the vehicle is legally allowed to perform such transport.

It is important to distinguish this service from other types of goods transport. Unlike scheduled transport, this service is flexible and not planned in advance. Compared to standard third-party transport, it operates more like an on-demand service, similar to taxis.

If a vehicle is used for this type of transport without being properly authorized, it is considered a violation. In such cases, administrative fines are applied, which can be significant. These rules ensure that only authorized and regulated vehicles provide such services, maintaining safety and proper standards.
