"Kyoninka Navi" Adds Notification Checker for Transportation Industry, Addressing Changes After the '2024 Problem'

March 30, 2026

Mycat Inc. has launched a new "Notification Checker" tool for the transportation industry within its "Kyoninka Navi" permit search service. This tool helps trucking operators navigate the complex notification requirements that have emerged due to the "2024 Problem"—new government regulations on overtime work. By entering their business details, operators can automatically identify the required filings, deadlines, and necessary documents, easing the administrative burden on small and medium-sized businesses.

Background of Increased Complexity in Transportation Notifications

Since April 2024, an upper limit on overtime work (960 hours annually) has been applied to driving operations. With the so-called "2024 Problem," an increasing number of businesses are reviewing their operational management systems and changing their vehicle counts, leading to a rise in the variety and frequency of required notifications.

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

How the New Tool Works

The Transportation Business Notification Checker automatically determines the necessary filings simply by having the operator input basic information and their latest operational changes.

Input Fields

Type of permit (General Freight / Specified Freight / Light Cargo)
Date of permit
Number of vehicles owned
Number and location of business offices
Changes in the last year (vehicle count / business office / officers / operation managers)

Check Results

A list of necessary notifications (including submission office, deadline, and required documents)
Alerts for expired or soon-to-expire notifications
Date of the next permit renewal (every 5 years)
Filing deadline for the annual financial report

Notifications Requiring Special Attention Due to the 2024 Problem

Notification of Change of Operation Manager

If you have increased or replaced operation managers to comply with the overtime work cap, a notification must be filed within 30 days.

Notification of Change in Vehicle Count

If you are reducing your number of vehicles due to difficulty in securing drivers, a prior notification is required. Falling below the minimum vehicle requirement (5 vehicles) is grounds for permit revocation.

Notification of Standard Fares

Operators are required to collect appropriate fares by referencing the "Standard Fares" published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The checker also allows you to confirm the filing status of your fare schedule.

We encourage all operators in the transportation business to use the notification checker to confirm their current filing status.

* This service does not constitute a proxy application under the Administrative Scrivener Law. Please consult with a professional, such as an administrative scrivener, for official filings.
