To ensure the continuity of the sector’s business, the Authority has worked on a number of initiatives, including: (permitting establishments licensed in the heavy goods transport activity for commercial purposes “for the establishment’s own account” to contract for the transport of goods for third parties).
Accordingly, Transport General Authority Board of Directors Decision No. (1/8/TR/2026/4), dated (7/10/1447 AH), was issued, allowing service providers in the heavy goods transport activity for commercial purposes “for the establishment’s own account” to contract for the transport of goods they do not own, subject to issuing a transport document for each shipment, on an exceptional basis until (14/4/1448 AH), corresponding to (25/9/2026).
Please accept our sincere regards and appreciation.
