Pallet delivery (LTL / groupage)
For 1–10 pallets. LTL (less than truckload) means your pallets share a trailer with other shippers’ goods. It is the cheapest way to send regular B2B orders to another EU country.
Move pallets, groupage cargo, dedicated vans and full truck loads with one B2B freight partner.
B2B road freight · 27 EU countries
Pallets, groupage, part loads and full truckloads from any EU country to any other — door to door, with CMR insurance and live tracking.
B2B Cargo moves commercial freight by road between all 27 EU countries: single pallets, groupage (LTL), part loads and full 13.6 m trucks. Neighbouring countries take 1–2 working days and cross-Europe lanes 4–7 days. A EUR-pallet typically costs €120–490, depending on distance (excl. VAT, September 2026). Inside the EU no customs clearance is needed.
DOOR TO DOOR ACROSS THE EUWhat we move
Six ways to move goods between EU countries by road, from one EUR-pallet to a dedicated 13.6 m trailer. Every option includes collection, CMR paperwork and tracking.
For 1–10 pallets. LTL (less than truckload) means your pallets share a trailer with other shippers’ goods. It is the cheapest way to send regular B2B orders to another EU country.
A dedicated 13.6 m curtainsider, loaded once and driven straight to your consignee. FTL (full truckload) suits 12 or more pallets, production supplies and urgent stock moves.
A 3.5 t van that leaves as soon as it is loaded, often with two drivers. It is built for spare parts, line-stop shipments and samples that must arrive next day.
ATP-certified reefers for food, beverages and pharmaceuticals. The set temperature is logged for the whole trip, and the consignee gets a printout at delivery.
Paints, chemicals, aerosols and lithium batteries under ADR, the European agreement on dangerous goods by road. ADR-trained drivers handle classes 2–9.
Machinery and plant equipment on low-loaders and extendable trailers. We get the permits in every country on the route and book escort vehicles where rules require them.
Freight rates
A single EUR-pallet typically costs €120–490 and a full 13.6 m truck €900–4,800, depending mainly on distance (September 2026, excl. VAT). The table shows typical ranges by distance band.

We charge by weight or loading metres, whichever is higher. Non-stackable pallets take double space.
Busy two-way lanes are cheaper. Lanes where trucks often return empty cost more.
Monthly fuel surcharge plus national tolls, such as German Lkw-Maut, French péage and Polish e-TOLL.
Peak weeks before Easter, summer and Christmas, plus ADR, temperature control, tail-lift and ferries.

Coverage
We collect and deliver in all 27 EU member states. Groupage is consolidated at hubs in Hamburg, Paris, Munich and Warsaw, and ferry lanes connect Ireland, the Nordics and Greece.
EU Regulation 561/2006 limits one driver to 9 hours a day, about 650–700 km. A two-driver crew covers 1,100–1,300 km in 24 hours.
Germany, France, Italy, Austria and Poland restrict heavy trucks on Sundays and holidays. We plan loading days around each country’s calendar.
Routes through Switzerland or the Western Balkans leave the EU and need a transit declaration (T1/T2). We avoid them unless you ask.
Paperwork
No customs clearance is needed for goods in free circulation within the EU; you need a CMR waybill, commercial invoice and packing list. A few national rules still apply, listed below.
The international road consignment note. The consignee signs it on delivery and you receive a scan the same day. e-CMR is available on request.
A B2B supply between two VAT-registered companies is usually zero-rated. Check the buyer’s VAT number in VIES and keep the signed CMR as proof. Confirm the wording with your accountant.
For B2B customers, road freight between EU countries is taxed where the customer is established. Our invoice to an EU business is usually issued under the reverse charge.
Some countries track certain goods electronically: SENT in Poland, e-Transport in Romania and EKAER in Hungary. We tell you when a number is needed.
Dangerous goods need an ADR transport document and SDS. Alcohol, tobacco and energy products move under an e-AD in the EMCS system.
The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are outside the EU VAT area and need customs documents. The Balearics, Madeira and the Azores do not.

FAQ
Short answers about prices, transit times, VAT and documents for road freight between EU countries.
No, goods in free circulation in the EU move between member states without customs clearance or customs declarations. You need a CMR waybill, a commercial invoice and a packing list. Customs documents are only needed for non-EU goods under T1 transit, for routes through Switzerland or the Western Balkans, and for special territories such as the Canary Islands.
A single EUR-pallet typically costs €120–490 excluding VAT (September 2026). Neighbouring countries, such as Germany to the Netherlands, cost €120–220. Cross-Europe lanes, such as Poland to Portugal, cost €260–450, and lanes with a ferry crossing cost up to €490. The exact price depends on postcodes, weight and whether the pallet can be stacked.
A full truck between neighbouring countries takes 1–2 working days, across central Europe 2–4 days, and from one edge of the EU to the other 4–7 days. Groupage pallets need 1–3 days more for consolidation. Ferry lanes to Ireland, the Nordics or Greece add about one day for the crossing.
A B2B sale to a VAT-registered company in another EU country is usually an intra-community supply at 0% VAT in the country of dispatch. The buyer’s VAT number must be valid in the EU VIES system, and you keep the signed CMR as proof of transport. Confirm the invoice wording with your accountant.
You need a CMR waybill, a commercial invoice and a packing list; we prepare the CMR. Dangerous goods also need an ADR transport document and Safety Data Sheet, and excise goods an e-AD in EMCS. Some countries have extra systems for certain goods, such as SENT in Poland and e-Transport in Romania.
LTL (less than truckload) or groupage means your 1–10 pallets share a trailer and pass through hubs; it is the cheapest option. A part load uses 6–16 pallet places on a more direct route. FTL (full truckload) gives you the whole 13.6 m trailer for up to 33 EUR-pallets or 24 t, driven straight to the consignee.
Yes, on request. The Balearics, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, the Greek islands, Madeira and the Azores are inside the EU VAT area and add 1–10 days by ferry. The Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla are outside the EU VAT area, so they also need export and import declarations.
Yes, every load travels under carrier liability set by the CMR Convention, limited to 8.33 SDR per kilogram of gross weight. For high-value goods this may not cover the full invoice value, so we offer additional cargo insurance. Tell us the goods value when you request a quote.
