Higher registration charges apply to trailers used as a “lead trailer” in a B Double. Higher charges also apply to a “lead trailer” and a “
middle trailer” in a B Triple combination. Registration renewal notices for all heavy trailers will be issued showing the appropriate heavy trailer charge. Operators of lead and middle trailers must contact VicRoads to advise whether the trailer is a lead trailer or middle trailer. A revised registration renewal notice will be generated centrally and mailed to the operator. Until changes are made to VicRoads’ systems, the registration renewal notice for lead and middle trailers will show the same fee code as for heavy trailers, VicRoads will also supply the operator with a letter (to be carried in the vehicle) confirming that the vehicle may be operated as a lead trailer of a middle trailer.
