Routes

What every route actually asks of you

The road is the easy part. What catches operators out is a permit that was needed at the second border, a document the shipper never produced, or a veterinary fence nobody mentioned. This page is the part of the job that is usually learned the expensive way - on both sides of a border and inside one country.

Cross-border

The corridors

Six routes carrying most of the region's cross-border volume, with the posts, permits and paperwork each one demands.

Domestic

The trunk routes inside each market

No border, no clearing agent, no transit bond. What bites instead is a veterinary cordon, a mountain pass in winter, a tollgate schedule or a stretch of road with no fuel on it for four hundred kilometres.

Route notes are compiled from operator experience and are given as guidance, not as a legal or customs opinion. Requirements change. Confirm current rules with the relevant revenue, roads or transport authority before you load.

Which run is yours

Domestic or cross-border - choose before you search

Both live on this board and they behave nothing alike. One has a border on it and one does not, and everything from permits to paperwork to who else you need follows from that.

Running one of these?

Put the truck on the board and let the cargo find it, or take a load already going your way.
