Work for yourself

At 12 000 km a month with a MAN 18.520 and a Krone Profi-liner you are left with roughly 4 385 € a month — and that is after fuel, tolls, the admin fee and the rent on the rig. At 10 000 km it is 3 021 €, and at 13 000 km 5 068 €. The figure is before tax and contributions. We prepare a no-obligation estimate on your own routes beforehand.

From 7 100 € plus load-securing kit. The figure has two parts: the first month's rent, 3 050 € (a Ford F-MAX 500 with a Krone trailer, excluding VAT), and a refundable deposit of 4 050 € (3 000 € for the tractor + 1 050 € for the trailer). You get the deposit back when the cooperation ends — it is only ever used for damage or unpaid obligations. With a different make of tractor the figure changes by the price list. Fuel, tolls and running costs are not paid in advance.

No — you do not have to buy a tractor or take out a loan. We rent you the tractor and the trailer. If something does not work out, you can return the vehicles at any point after the first month, and rent is counted only for the days you actually drove. And if you do have your own tractor or van, you can bring it and lower your costs.

Fuel and tolls are on us: you get a fuel card and a toll box, so you never have to take that money out of your own pocket. The costs are simply deducted at settlement — transparent, no surprises, and nothing for you to fund up front. Traffic fines are your own responsibility as the driver.

The rent covers scheduled servicing, the roadworthiness test, routine maintenance, tyres, comprehensive and third-party insurance, and a replacement truck if yours breaks down. None of it is your problem and none of it is billed separately. On top you pay only the admin fee of 550 € a month excluding VAT — no commission on individual loads. The fee also includes a free T-Mobile SIM: unlimited calls and texts, 50 GB of data across the EU and unlimited data in the Czech Republic. You buy your own load-securing kit (straps, corner protectors, load bars, anti-slip mats) and cover your own meals on the road.

Every payment is by bank transfer to your account. The money arrives within 60 days of you handing over the complete paperwork for the job, so we suggest having a reserve for the first two months. Important: if a customer does not pay their invoice, that is our problem and not yours — it makes no difference to what you earn.

You pay the deposit before taking the vehicle over, and it is returned in full once the cooperation ends. It is only ever used for damage or unpaid obligations. You are responsible for the vehicle as its user, but most ordinary damage is covered by the insurance included in the rent.

Yes, you need a živnost — but it does not have to be Czech: what matters is the right to do business and to work legally in Czechia. If you do not have one yet, that is not a problem — we help you arrange everything, it is part of getting started. You do not have to keep the books yourself: either the flat-rate tax, or bookkeeping support from us.

We find and plan the loads, as a rule a week ahead, so you can see your own workload. Finding customers, negotiating rates and dispatch are all covered by the monthly fee.

The cooperation is not tied to a long-term contract and can be ended at any time. After the first month you can return the tractor and pay rent only for the days you had it. If you want a longer break, we pause assigning you loads — but a load you have already confirmed has to be completed.

From signing up to your first load is usually around 20 calendar days. The sequence: a no-obligation consultation → an income estimate on your own routes → opening the živnost and signing the contract → paying the deposit and taking over the rig → your first scheduled load.
