Background of Complicated Notification Requirements in the Transportation Industry

As of April 2024, regulations limiting overtime work (960 hours per year) have been applied to driving operations. Due to the so-called "2024 Problem," there has been an increase in businesses reviewing their operational management systems and changing the number of vehicles, leading to an increase in the types and frequency of notifications required.

According to statistics from the All Japan Truck Association, there are approximately 62,000 trucking companies, over 99% of which are small and medium-sized businesses (Source: All Japan Truck Association). For businesses without a dedicated administrative department, managing multiple notifications within deadlines is a significant burden.

Mechanism of the New Tool

The transportation industry notification checker automatically determines the necessary notifications simply by inputting the business's basic information and the latest changes.

Input Items

Type of permit (General Cargo/Specific Cargo/Light Cargo)
Date of permit issuance
Number of vehicles owned
Number and location of business offices
Changes in the past year (number of vehicles/offices/executives/operations managers)

Check Results

List of required notifications (including submission destination, deadline, and attached documents)
Alerts for expired or nearing-deadline notifications
Next permit renewal date (every 5 years)
Deadline for submission of financial statement change notifications

Notifications Requiring Special Attention Due to the 2024 Problem

Operations Manager Change Notification

If additional operations managers are hired or existing ones are replaced to comply with overtime regulations, notification is required within 30 days.

Vehicle Fleet Size Change Notification

If vehicles are reduced due to difficulties in securing drivers, prior notification is required. Falling below the minimum fleet size (5 vehicles) can be grounds for permit revocation.

Standard Freight Charges Notification

Businesses are required to charge appropriate freight rates, referencing the "Standard Freight Charges" announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The checker can also confirm the status of freight rate table notifications.

Businesses operating in the transportation industry are encouraged to check their current notification status using the notification checker.

*This service is not an agency application based on the Administrative Scrivener Act. For official notifications, please consult with a professional such as an administrative scrivener.
