Oil tankers and goods transport associations have given the government a 72-hour ultimatum, demanding that the demands of the Balochistan Goods Truck Trailer Owners Association be accepted.

According to the associations, the cost of operating a ten-wheel vehicle is around Rs3 million.

They stated that owners have already updated their vehicles, and these new restrictions will leave the vehicles idle, causing significant financial losses for both the owners and workers.

The associations have warned that if their demands are not met, they will block major highways across all four provinces of the country.

The protest includes various groups such as the Oil Tankers Association, Edible Oil Tankers Association, All Pakistan Truck Association, Sindh-Balochistan Mazda Goods Transport, Goods Transport Association, Car Carriers, Water Tankers, Sindh Dumpers, and Karachi Goods Transport Association.

Transport associations have warned that if the load axle restrictions are not lifted, they will go on strike in solidarity with the Balochistan Goods Truck Trailer Owners Association and block major highways across all four provinces.
