Which vehicles are excluded from the leaky loads regulation?

The choice of vehicles carrying poultry or livestock being excluded from the leaky loads regulation is correct because regulations around leaky loads are designed to ensure that materials transported do not spill and create hazards on the road. Specific exemptions often apply to vehicles transporting agricultural products, such as poultry and livestock, due to the nature of these materials. The transportation of live animals and perishable goods often involves considerations that differ from standard cargo, recognizing the need for flexibility in handling these types of loads.

In contrast, vehicles carrying hazardous materials, those in transit with various types of cargo, or vehicles equipped with trailers would not typically be exempt from these regulations due to the risk associated with potential leaks or spills. Regulations for hazardous materials are particularly stringent to protect public safety, while vehicles in transit and those with trailers are subject to the same laws to maintain uniform standards across all types of transport.
