Logistics business: yellow or green plate?

**wowiesy** · September 10th, 2005 12:17 AM

To guys knowledgeable about DOTC, LTO and LTFRB stuff

Napapansin ko na sa mga logistics company green plates sila (private vehicles)... marami ding mga malalaking mga dump truck ay green plates ... when i was a lot younger, ang dami dami kong nakikitang mga big cargo trucks na may pintura lagi na "from metro manila to any point of luzon" tapos naka yellow plates sila...

ano ba ang dapat?

pag yung trucking kasi yellow plates... pero pag logistic company ka ang dami ko nakikita green plates... di ba almost same lang ang function? o kolorum na lang?

pag yellow plates di ba it follows na kailangan mag apply ng franchise from the LTFRB? ganun ba talaga dapat pag say logistics company providing warehousing and delivery services?

thanks for the clarification.

afaik green plates talaga

so hindi na kelangan ng franchise? sa province kasi, our trucks usually get flagged down... inspect kuno ang goods ano nakakarga... titignan ang goods vs registration ng truck.. pag medyo hindi match kesyo kolorum na trucking or hauler...

nung minsan ako din nag drive.. yellow ranger pickup ... got flagged down in manila... inspect yung laman ngcargo.. mga candies / sweets from our warehouse in bulacan to be delivered sa iba't ibang customers in divisoria... ang hirit ng nag flag down eh dpaat daw commercial vehicle ang sasakyan ko, may naka lagay na maximum load and passengers... ang labo...

Yellow plates are for Public Utility / For Hire Vehicles, such as, Passenger buses, taxis, jeepneys; cargo trucks, buses. For company use, green plate.

does this mean that cars for rent like hertz rent a car have yellow plates?

what's the consequence if i rent out my car that has a green plate?

hindi halata na rental ang car... so they can get away with the green plate.

legal ones will do the yellow plate.

as mentioned, basta't public use (rental) dapat yan yellow plate talaga.

nasa logistics business kami, may mga green plates kaming closed van na umiikot sa buong GMA SOUTH AND NORTH area. meron din kaming yellow plates. lagi na lang na kapag nag dadala kami ng green plates ay parang naglalaro ka ng hide and seek sa mga HPG (HIGHWAY PATROL GROUP) kasi nag TNT (TAGO NG TAGO) kami kasi kapag nakita ka nila siguradong pera na to kasi colorum ang magiging kaso mo. Resulting sa tanggal ng plaka at ticket pa license mo(SUSPENDED PA NG 90 DAYS) Kaya kailangan talaga ng yellow plates mga truck or van na nagseserve ng logistics.

Question lang din. Bakit may mga logistics company na naka green plates pa rin assuming na same lang naman ang nature ng business pero hindi sila nasisita ng HPG? Mga international tong mga ito.......PARANG HINDI FARE.....

All of our trucks are green plates.

wala naman akong naencounter na problema, hindi naman flagdown yung mga trucks namin.

Baka naman walang company name sa gilid nang truck nyo plus address. Kailangan din dapat may mga resibo ang mga dala nyo kaya minsan na flagdown sila para pakita kung documented ang dala nila sa truck.
