Representatives of transport companies have applied to Asia-Plus asking on what basis employees of transport inspectorate fine drivers without route lists and waybills, why these waybills have become compulsory for all and why the ministry of transport sells them for money.

An official within the Ministry of Transport (MoT) says that instruction on issuing, registering, filling and processing route lists and waybills (for trucks) was endorsed in 2013.  

A waybill is a document issued by a carrier giving details and instructions relating to the shipment of a consignment of goods.  A waybill is similar to that of a courier's receipt which contains the details of the consignor and the consignee, and also the point of origin and destination.

Th instruction was reportedly worked out and approved to fulfill government’s instruction on organizing a single system of statistical indicators of transport activity.  

This system is necessary for accounting and control of activities of transport and driver, the source added.    

“Government bodies – “Motor Transport and Logistics Service” State Enterprise and Agency for Statistics – receive statistical data on the carriage of goods and passengers, execution of works and services, transport movement and fuel consumption,” the deputy head of the “Motor Transport and Logistics Service” State Enterprise, Sultonmurod Ahmadov, told Asia-Plus in an interview.  

Ahmadov further noted that forms for filling route lists and waybills are cards are paid.  

According to the instruction, travel cards and waybills are compulsory for agencies, organizations and enterprises, which have vehicles on their balance sheet or use rented vehicles.
