Trucking in Europe

Tips & Advice to help you make your decision on Trucking in Europe

If you are expanding your trucking business into Europe or you use European freight companies to transport your goods, you need to understand trucking in Europe. European trucking laws are complex because of the numerous sovereign borders, legal jurisdictions, and diverse geography. Make sure you understand the laws governing the transportation of goods in each country and the rules for crossing borders. The European Commission's Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport has consolidated these laws on its website. You may wish to consult with specialists of European law about various issues covered by trucking laws, including safety and taxation.

You will need to pay customs duties on the goods you transport. Although most European countries belong to the European Union, regulations are enforced by customs agencies in each nation. For example, if your trucks will travel through the central part of Europe, you should be familiar with Swiss customs.

Unions are more important in Europe than in the United States; you need to understand the laws governing these entities and be prepared to deal with union employees.

While traveling through Europe, your trucks may pass through deserts and cross mountains during one week. You must ensure your fleet is properly maintained and able to withstand such diverse environments.
