Oversized Cargo

The transportation of oversized cargo is a specialized activity in Bulgaria, regulated by Ordinance No. 11 on the Movement of Oversized Loads, issued by the Ministry of Regional Development and Public Works.

The ordinance clearly defines the weight, dimensions, and axle loads of vehicles that may move freely on national roads, as well as those classified as oversized vehicles used for transporting bulky and heavy loads—part of the logistics solutions offered by JetTrans Bulgaria.

The EU sets rules regarding the maximum weights and dimensions allowed for road freight transport. When the cargo exceeds these permitted limits (so-called “oversized cargo”), its transportation requires a special permit issued by regional or national authorities. Different countries apply different rules and procedures for obtaining such permits, including requirements for escort vehicles, allowed time windows, permissible speeds, and other conditions.

Dangerous Goods (ADR)

Road transport of goods involves a risk of traffic accidents. When the goods are dangerous, an additional risk of incidents exists, leading to hazards such as fire, explosion, chemical burns, or environmental damage.

The transport of dangerous goods is a specialized activity carried out with specially equipped vehicles and trained drivers. The European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) specifies all requirements related to this activity.

The term “dangerous goods” refers to substances or products that must be transported under special safety measures depending on their classification.
