Pickup Truck Rules - Passengers in the flatbed?

[ordo_ph]

Is it really illegal to have passengers in the flatbed (cargo area) of your pickup? Does a rule like that exist in Metro Manila or on SLEX / NLEX?

[cocoy]

i think that would be almost the same for hanging out the back of the jeepney so i guess that would be bawal.. but then again i have seen flatbed trucks carrying workers on SLEX.. mind you workers of SLEX pa..

[scharnhorst]

well, the car has to have enough seatbelts for all passengers...

so technically bawal. I only allow people to ride at the back pag gabing gabi na, or kung may event/parade or something. otherwise, no.

or sa probinsya. hehe. hitch hikers, or kung tinatamad na mag convoy papunta sa town proper namin... ayun. lahat sa likod nung ranger

sa SLEX/NLEX naman, delikado.

[RedAxel]

AFAIK, sa NLEX & SLEX bawal dahil nga delikado especially that cars run on high speed.

[KCboy]

for me as a general rule, if within the city and you don't go thru main roads like edsa where a lot of mmda and kotong cops hang around, it salaga.hould be ok but sa lto rules, bawal talaga.

[silverrain]

check your car registration... ang binibilang lang don is the number of seats inside the car... flatbed is considered your trunk area equivalent sa sedan.

e.g. Mitsu Strada seating capacity is 5 max

My take is all vehicles have a its passenger limits stated on the specifications, manual and brochures. Thats what is to be followed in accordance with the law. Even cargo has to be tied down properly.

If you're on a beach, a farm, or shuttling around the village, its pretty acceptable to have passengers in the back. Just take precautions such as driving slowly (especially on humps, potholes and road dips) for the safety of your human cargo.

Guys regarding flatbed but not passengers

Ano laws natin regarding cargo sa flatbed?

I plan to carry 4 meter pvc pipes. Lampas talaga flat bed and hindi pwede irolyo.

Ano rules sa road regarding this? Ill be transporting it from Makati to Fort. Meron ako nakikita sa daan na naka higa lang tapos may triangle or basahan na naka sabit. Pwede na ba ganoon lang? Nakatali naman ng mabuti yung pipes

Kelangan mo talaga lagyan nang tela (mas maganda kung puti or red) sa dulo para visible pa mas lalo yung pipes. AFAIK hindi naman yan bawal, just drive carefully and really make sue that it is securely fastened.

I have done that 3x recently but mine was a Thermocore roofing. 10 feet ata un if my recollection is correct Then 8 ft ung ibang trips. Dmax ang pickup ko and its bed isn't that long kaya mas mahaba pa ung nakalabas na part nung roofing kaysa sa nakapatong sa bed. Para na ang truck sa sobrang haba.

I bought it in Wilcon in Fairview. Hindi naman ako nahuli when I was in Commonwealth. May nakasunod pa nga sa akin na enforces ng QC na naka motor, hindi naman ako pinara. I am not sure there in Fort & Makati. Mas gutom kasi ang crocs diyan.hehe

Pero taling kalabaw ung ginawa ng employee ng Wilcon. Red ung ribbon na nilagay nila.

May nakita ako nakasabit sa dulo ng steel pipes nila ayy yung red EWD. Di ba mas delikado yun? Its a solid dangling object.

[RF02]

ginagawa yan ng mga friends ko, sa likod sumasakay kahit nung wala pa ko carryboy.

hindi naman ako hinuli ng MMDA natry ko na fairview to sm north or to MOA via edsa.


saka masmasarap kasi sumakay sa likod lalo na pang medyo mabilis hehe

[oalmero]

Where exactly can we find all the rules and regulations on the use of all road types, from iskinita to the main superhighways?

[yebo]

Dapat red na cloth sinasabit dun sa protruding cargo. Or better yet merong light na nabibili battery powered, red circle siya and flashing parang yung pag may "wide load" na ine-escortan sa nlex. Saw it once forget ko saan, could be handyman.

I apologize for reviving this old thread but I'm a newbie here and can't create a new thread.
Anyway, my situation is quite similar to this one.

Are there any written rules on how long or how high a cargo a pick-up can hold at tollways, specifically SLEX and STAR Toll?
I was carrying a cabinet that's almost 2 meters in height and we positioned it on the cargo bed diagonally, the base of the cabinet flushed on the pickup's rear and the top part resting on the roof of the cab, secured with covers and ropes.
Basically, the cabinet is protruding about 2 feet above the roof. I drove along SLEX and was fine until I reached STAR Tollway, I was hailed by the guards there and pointed out that my cargo was too high and was not allowed to go through the rest of the tollway, I didn't bother to argue coz I wasn't fined, but told me to exit at the nearest exit.
I was like, I drove along SLEX without issues and here I am, being flagged at the next tollway so I am quite confused.
Anyway, next week I'll be hauling another cabinet with the same specs.
Is it better to lay the cabinet flat lying on the bed and let it protrude at the rear of the pickup, with safety measures? Or am I gonna get flagged again?

For slex pwede as long covered mo ng tolda and nakatali ng maigi. Bawal lang tao sa likod huhulihin ka.

Yes I'm aware na bawal ang tao sa likod.
So you are saying na pwedeng lumampas sa roof line ng pickup ang cargo without being flagged sa SLEX? If that's the case, then I can exit sa Sto Tomas para di ako maflagged sa STAR Toll 'cause apparently, bawal sa STAR Toll na lalampas sa roof line yung cargo.
