Common questions

You do not have to, but you can. Without your own equipment you rent the tractor and the trailer from us, with no loan, no down payment and no five-year lease — you take on no bank debt, put up no assets and carry no residual-value risk. With your own equipment you can bring a tractor or a trailer into the cooperation: your costs drop by that part of the rent and your monthly result is that much higher. You can bring just one half of the rig — your own trailer with our tractor, or the other way round. We prepare a calculation of both options in advance so you can see the difference in numbers.

Prices are per month excluding VAT and the deposit is refundable. MAN 18.520 — rent 2 400 €, deposit 3 000 €. Mercedes-Benz Actros 480 — 2 550 € and 3 100 €. Volvo FH500 — 2 550 € and 3 100 €. Ford F-MAX 500 — 2 200 € and 3 000 €. Krone Profi-liner trailer — 850 € and 1 050 €. Iveco Daily 3.0 — 1 856 €, deposit by vehicle. A rig is a tractor plus a trailer; you choose the make, model, colour and equipment level from what is currently available.

Scheduled servicing, the roadworthiness test, routine maintenance, tyres, comprehensive insurance, third-party liability insurance and a replacement vehicle if yours breaks down. None of it is your problem and none of it is billed separately — we arrange the service dates with you. The rent does not include fuel, tolls or fines.

You pay it before taking the vehicle over and it is returned in full once the cooperation ends. It is used only to cover damage or unpaid obligations. The deposit is not a fee and not a down payment — it is security you get back.

You are responsible for the vehicle as its user, but most ordinary damage is covered by the comprehensive insurance included in the rent. At worst you deal with the excess, not the whole repair.

You report the fault to us and we handle the servicing and the tow. For the duration of the repair you get a replacement vehicle so you do not lose loads.

Rent is charged for the actual number of days you use the vehicle. After the first month you can return the tractor at any time — no penalties and no notice period.

Yes. The Iveco Daily 3.0 (curtainside, 10 pallets) is 1 856 € a month including 12 000 km, and 0.07 €/km over the limit. Vans run on a different operating-cost arrangement — go through it with us beforehand.

You can use it and cut your costs. You pay no rent on the part of the rig you bring — your own trailer saves you 850 € a month, your own tractor 2 200–2 550 € depending on the make. Your monthly result rises by that amount. You can bring just one half of the rig: your own trailer with our tractor, or the other way round. With your own equipment, though, you also take on everything the rent otherwise covers — servicing, the roadworthiness test, tyres, comprehensive insurance and third-party liability. The vehicle has to meet the technical and emissions requirements for international haulage; we go through its actual condition before the cooperation starts.

Yes. We find and plan the loads, as a rule a week ahead, so you can see your own workload and your expected income. You do not have to sit on freight exchanges hunting for cargo — that is the work your monthly fee pays for.

At the moment we run mainly the Czech Republic – Italy lane with a curtainside trailer. It is work with regular shippers and consignees — no pallet exchange, no night driving and no long list of loading and unloading points on one run. For a driver it is one of the calmer lanes in international haulage. You come back to Czechia regularly. The highest mileage, and therefore the highest income, comes from a weekend-out, weekend-home pattern: one weekend you stay on the road, the next you spend at home. The rig stands idle for as little time as possible and you get a predictable rhythm. Planning follows the mobility package, including the right to a regular return.

Dispatch is ours. We plan routes so they make sense in terms of mileage and how loads follow one another — your result grows with the kilometres you drive, so our interest is the same as yours.

A confirmed load has to be completed — we have guaranteed it to the customer. If you want a break or to cut back your workload, say so in advance and we will pause assigning you loads.

For the agreed period we plan your utilisation — which is precisely why we can guarantee loads, negotiate rates and carry the payment risk. The scope is always a matter for the specific contract; we go through it with you beforehand.

You choose when you want to drive. A longer break or an extended weekend just needs to be reported in advance. For a long illness you can return the tractor — you pay rent only for the days you had it available.

Over a weekend or a short break you park wherever suits you — we do not tie you to the depot for parking the rig; you only have to comply with traffic law and local rules. We recommend a guarded car park: it lowers the risk of damage and of cargo theft. If you are planning a longer holiday and do not want to pay rent for days you are not driving, you can return the tractor and take a vehicle over again when you get back.

Yes, a two-person crew is possible. Bear in mind, though, that at higher mileages the rent on the rig also rises, because the vehicle depreciates faster. To be plain about it: economically it usually does not work out. Income does go up, but it is split between two people, so the average earnings per driver are lower than driving solo. The specific terms — the second driver’s standing, their vetting, and responsibility for the vehicle and the cargo — differ case by case, so they need to be discussed in person. Get in touch and we will go through your particular situation, including a calculation of both options.

Yes. Our dispatchers speak other languages too, so you will be understood. You do, however, need a valid right to trade and to work legally in the Czech Republic — if you are unsure about your status, get in touch and we will go through it.

Yes. The cooperation is not tied to a long-term contract. After the first month you return the vehicle with no penalties and the deposit comes back to you.

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

An employee gets a fixed wage regardless of performance, drives the vehicle they are assigned, and has their schedule set by their employer. As an independent carrier you get the freight — the difference between it and the costs is yours. You choose the tractor, you influence when you drive, and a better month shows up in your result immediately. And you deal with none of the administration, the loads or the payment risk.
