The Transport Control Department (TCD), under the Ministry of Transport, is pleased to announce significant updates to the process for replacing old trucks with new trucks. Based on feedback received during the Red Tape Reduction Consultation process, these enhancements are designed to simplify the procedure, improve accessibility, and ensure faster, more efficient handling of truck replacement requests.
Replacing a truck is now a straightforward process that requires submitting a letter of request. This letter should include the specifications of the new vehicle, along with a picture or brochure for reference, which must be provided to the TCD's Senior Examiner for processing.
If the new truck model maintains the same specifications as the previous one, the existing registration number will remain unchanged. However, if the new model differs in size, whether larger or smaller, a new number will be issued to reflect the appropriate truck category. The process is expected to take up to two working days.
Minister of Transport Wayne Furbert emphasized, "Last year, our Red Tape Reduction Consultation process provided us with valuable feedback from the community about which regulations could be reduced, streamlined, or made more efficient. We carefully considered this feedback, which has helped us improve the process of truck replacement, and we will continuously review our processes to ensure they are both effective and responsive to the needs of our customers."
