Zero ODOL by 2027: Comprehensive Enforcement Against Overloaded Trucks
JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - The Director General of Land Transportation, Aan Suhanan, stated that there will be a comprehensive regulation of over-dimension and overload transport from upstream to downstream. This is in preparation for achieving Zero Over Dimension Over Load (ODOL) by 2027.
“Many view the over-dimension over-load problem merely as a traffic violation on the road, but we must see it as a safety issue that needs to be addressed from upstream to downstream because there is a logistics transport ecosystem within it,” Aan said in an official statement on Tuesday (7/3/2026).
“A commitment is needed from all parties, both from ministries and agencies, logistics transport operators, to the public, to realise Zero Over Dimension Over Load 2027,” he added.
Aan said that currently, all involved stakeholders are processing steps to address the issues within the logistics transport ecosystem, so that the problem of over-dimension and overload trucks can be handled comprehensively from upstream to downstream.
“Actually, we already have a roadmap or action plan not only from the supervision and law enforcement side but all those involved in this ecosystem, starting from the welfare of drivers which is being prepared by the relevant ministries,” he stated.
“The regulatory issue is being processed in the DPR and is being improved to suit the current needs of the logistics transport ecosystem, such as the government providing incentives and disincentives for business actors who comply and those who violate,” Aan revealed.
From the supervision side, Aan assessed that the government also needs to get involved from the beginning to carry out more systematic supervision until it can eventually implement more consistent law enforcement.
According to him, supervision must start from the goods loading point, then strengthened with digital detection on the road, data integration, and law enforcement so that all parties involved in the logistics distribution process are also monitored and comply with the existing provisions.
“The handling must be comprehensive from upstream to downstream so the approach is not just about cracking down but arranging the ecosystem,” Aan explained.
“With the roadmap and system that we are building, responsibility will not only be burdened on the drivers, but operators or cargo owners will also be held legally accountable,” Aan said.
Therefore, with the comprehensive action plan and collaboration of all ministries, agencies, to stakeholders involved in the logistics transport ecosystem, Aan is optimistic that the Zero Over Dimension Over Load 2027 target can be realised.
“Hopefully with the roadmap we make and the same commitment from all stakeholders, I am optimistic that Zero ODOL can be achieved in 2027,” Aan emphasised.
