Background: Increased Complexity of Notifications for Transport Businesses

From April 2024, an overtime work cap (960 hours per year) has been applied to automotive driving operations. With the so-called "2024 Problem," there has been an increase in businesses reviewing their operation management systems and changing the number of vehicles, leading to an increase in the types and frequency of notifications.

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

How the New Tool Works

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

Input Items

Type of permit (general freight/specified freight/light freight)
Date of permit
Number of vehicles owned
Number and location of business offices
Changes in the last year (number of vehicles/offices/officers/operation managers)

Check Results

List of necessary notifications (with submission destination, deadline, and required documents)
Alert display for expired or upcoming deadlines for notifications
Next permit renewal date (every 5 years)
Submission deadline for financial statement change notifications

Notifications Requiring Special Attention Due to the 2024 Problem

Notification of Change in Operation Manager

If there is an increase or change in operation managers to comply with overtime work limits, a notification is required within 30 days.

Notification of Change in Number of Vehicles

If the number of vehicles is reduced due to difficulty in securing drivers, advance notification is required. Falling below the minimum number of vehicles (5 units) constitutes a reason for permit revocation.

Notification of Standard Fares

Appropriate collection of fares is required, referring to the "standard fares" announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. The checker also allows confirmation of the submission status of fare tables.

Businesses operating in the transport industry are encouraged to use the notification checker to confirm their current notification status.

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