Our own trucks on the Austria – Germany – Netherlands lanes, mega trailers for high-volume freight, and dispatchers who have all been drivers.
Where we started
It all started in 2011, when we were selling tyres and delivering them in a 3.5-tonne van. In 2017 we bought our first truck. It was new territory for us, so at first I drove it myself.
Cristian Paul PopFounder and CEO
Every one of our dispatchers is a former driver. They know the road, the loading dock and the rest break first-hand.

We didn’t buy a ready-made company. We built one, truck by truck.
Transport
Four lines of work, all with our own trucks and our own drivers.
Tractor units with drivers for our partners’ trailers. We’ve worked this way for Mammoet Ferry Transport on the Austria – Netherlands lane since 2017, today with eight trucks.

Mega and standard trailers have the same length and width. The difference is 30 cm of height and about 10 m³. When it matters and when it doesn’t.
What a loading metre is, how to work it out for Euro pallets and industrial pallets, and why it matters for the price. With a calculator.
