Transport to the Czech Republic – your specialist for the core Germany–Czech Republic lane
The Czech Republic is one of our core lanes, which we serve in both directions with exclusively dedicated capacity – daily in import and export. Whether groupage, part or full load: you deal with a fixed team that runs the Czech Republic lane every day, and benefit from direct planning, seamless shipment transparency and our logistics expertise for Eastern Europe.
From the industrial and metropolitan areas around Prague through the west, north and south (Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem, Liberec, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice) to Moravia and the east (Brno, Ostrava, Olomouc, Zlín), we reach the whole of the Czech Republic reliably and predictably.
Daily direct services to the Czech Republic
Unlike our Italian services, which we run by combined transport via rail, we serve the Czech Republic by direct road freight. For the direct service we use exclusively dedicated fixed-charter capacity instead of our own equipment. Fixed departures in both directions ensure short transit times, high frequencies and a low damage rate without additional transhipment. Through our long-standing partner network in the Czech Republic, beyond direct transport (FTL/LTL) we also offer groupage services and warehouse logistics.
Every load type – from groupage to full loads
Depending on the requirement and lane we draw on our own equipment, our fixed-charter fleet or our long-standing lane partners – 100% under our own control.
FTL
Direct services for maximum reliability – direct and without transhipment.
LTL
Flexible when you don't need the full loading space.
Groupage
Efficiently consolidated for smaller consignments.
Our fleet comprises modern tractor units as well as code-XL curtain-siders, coil and standard trailers – for standard goods just as much as for demanding loads. This secures capacity and on-time performance even at peak times.

Frequently asked questions about transport to the Czech Republic
Which load types do you transport to the Czech Republic?
We cover the full range: groupage, part loads and full loads – combined from a single source on request.
Do you serve the Czech Republic with your own equipment?
Yes. The Czech Republic is one of our core lanes, which we serve in both directions with exclusively dedicated capacity. Where there is corresponding demand, we can draw flexibly on our own fleet at any time.
Do you serve the whole of the Czech Republic?
Yes – from the capital Prague and the western Bohemian areas through the Moravian regions to the Silesian north-east. You will find the regions we serve, with postcode zones, in the table above.
How do I find out where my shipment currently is?
All tractor units (Webfleet) and trailers (Nexxiot) are connected – we can reliably tell you the location and estimated arrival at any time.
Do you handle customs clearance?
Within the EU no customs clearance is required. For transports in transit via third countries – such as Ukraine – we handle the complete import and export customs clearance.
Sustainability
Responsibility on road and rail: we rely on a modern, low-emission fleet and forward-looking planning. Through fixed round trips we avoid empty runs and bundle loads efficiently – reducing CO₂ emissions per tonne transported. Where it makes sense, we shift the main leg onto climate-friendly rail. You can read about how we implement "green logistics" company-wide on our sustainability page.
