Many trucks in Nghe An were forced to cut open their boxes to expand them.
(Baonghean.vn) - The extended trucks of two businesses in Nghe An province were required by traffic inspectors to reduce the size of their cargo boxes to avoid overloading.
On the afternoon of June 8, Mr. Nguyen Cong Hau - Captain of the Inspection Team of Area 2 (Inspector of the Department of Transport of Nghe An province) said that the unit had just requested two transport companies operating in the area to cut off the part of the container that was extended to carry overloaded loads. These are two companies that often transport soil from the quarry in Hung Tay commune (Hung Nguyen district) to serve a nearby industrial park.
“Today, two trucks had their cargo boxes cut off. Another one is still in progress and will be finished tomorrow,” said Mr. Hau, adding that these trucks were expanded by nearly half a meter compared to their original design. The process of cutting cargo boxes was supervised by traffic inspectors.

These vehicles are often overloaded, causing frustration among local residents. However, according to traffic inspectors, because they only run a distance of about 2 km on Highway 46, handling them is difficult. Drivers find many ways to avoid the authorities whenever they appear.

Previously, on the morning of June 6, the traffic inspector discovered that a truck with a Thanh Hoa license plate of Linh Son Company was transporting soil on National Highway 46, violating the law by extending the truck bed, so he made a record to handle it. The remaining truck owners, when they saw the authorities appear, quickly fled. The traffic inspector was then forced to meet and persuade the truck owners to bring the violating truck to cut off the extended truck bed.
