An old road freight industry issue in South Africa has resurfaced at the countrys Beitbridge Border Post with Zimbabwe after five trucks were impounded for allegedly contravening height restrictions set down by the Department of Transport DoT .
The northbound convoy of Zambian-registered flatbeds was stopped by municipal traffic officials in Musina on Thursday night and found to be in violation of a high cube height restriction limiting containers carried on the back of a truck to 4.3 metres.
Officials apparently pulled the trucks over, saying they were carrying oversized cargo without the necessary abnormal permits.
