Service
International transport
European lanes and cross-border movements
What the service covers
A cross-border movement differs from a domestic one not in distance but in the number of formal requirements. Permits, accompanying documents, posting rules for drivers, national traffic bans and the consignee’s booking windows all have to be planned before loading, not during the trip. We run international lanes end to end: from checking the destination country’s requirements to returning the paperwork.

Common questions
The questions we get asked most
-
01
Which documents does an international movement need?
It depends on the lane and the goods. We send the list of required documents before loading and check it is complete before the vehicle leaves.
-
02
Do you account for drivers' hours on the route?
Yes. The schedule is built around the driving-time rules, so the delivery date we quote is one that can actually be met.
-
03
What happens if there is a delay at the border?
We tell you as soon as it happens and give you a revised estimated delivery time together with the reason.
