DMF Express - freight forwarding & logistics
Freight forwarding and road transport across Europe
DMF Express is a Slovak freight forwarder. We plan, book and run door-to-door road freight to 28 European countries - on our own 7.2 t curtain-side vehicles and, for full loads up to 24 t, through a carrier network we have vetted ourselves.
Express and just-in-time runs, part loads and groupage, ADR dangerous goods and temperature-controlled cargo - with customs documents, CMR, cargo insurance and proof of delivery handled in one place. Our forwarding team has been moving freight across Europe for over a decade, and one named forwarder stays with your shipment from the first enquiry to the signed CMR.

Why DMF Express
A forwarder that carries its own risk
Most forwarders only broker. We do both - we run our own trucks and we buy capacity on the open market. When your load is urgent we have a vehicle we actually control, and when it is oversized we have a network that can take it.
Own fleet, real control
7.2 t curtain-side vehicles we own, maintain and dispatch ourselves - no waiting for a subcontractor to confirm.
Full forwarding service
Route planning, customs documentation, CMR, cargo insurance and proof of delivery handled in one place.
Route and cost optimisation
We combine part loads, plan return legs and cut empty kilometres so the price reflects the real route, not a list rate.
Just-in-time delivery
Fixed loading and unloading windows for production lines, retail slots and construction sites.
Prices that hold
The quoted price is the invoiced price. No surprise surcharges after the goods have moved.
One named contact
You deal with the same forwarder from the first enquiry through to the signed CMR - not a ticket queue.
Our own fleet
7.2 t curtain-side vehicles we own and operate
We own and operate our own fleet of 7.2 t curtain-side (tautliner) vehicles. That gives us flexible, fast capacity for small and mid-size consignments across Europe - without depending on an external carrier's schedule.

Our whole own fleet is curtain-side. Side and top access makes these vehicles suitable for almost any palletised or bulky cargo and keeps loading and unloading fast - including at sites without a ramp.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a freight forwarder actually do?
A freight forwarder organises the transport of your goods without necessarily driving them. We plan the route, select and contract the vehicle, prepare the transport documents (CMR, ADR papers, customs declarations), arrange insurance and monitor the shipment until delivery. DMF Express is both a forwarder and a carrier: we run our own 7.2 t curtain-side fleet and also buy capacity from a vetted carrier network, so we can match the vehicle to your load instead of the other way round.
How heavy a load can you carry?
Our own fleet consists of 7.2 t curtain-side vehicles with a payload of up to 3 200 kg and a 610 × 248 × 245 cm load space (37 m³) that takes 15 Euro pallets. For larger consignments we organise standard, mega and jumbo trailers through our carrier network, up to 24 t of cargo and 100 m³.
How fast can I get a price?
On working days between 07:00 and 18:00 you normally have a firm quote within 15 minutes of sending the route, weight, dimensions and loading date. Urgent and line-stop requests are priced immediately - by phone on +421 948 998 193, by message or by email.
Which countries do you deliver to?
We regularly deliver to 28 European countries. Daily lanes run to Austria, Germany, Czechia, Hungary and Poland; we also operate regular traffic to Italy, France, the Benelux countries, Switzerland, Spain, Scandinavia and South-Eastern Europe. See the coverage page for the full list.
Do you transport dangerous goods (ADR)?
Yes. We carry ADR classified goods with certified drivers and correctly equipped vehicles, including limited-quantity ADR on our own 7.2 t fleet. Tell us the UN number, packing group and quantity and we will confirm feasibility and price. More on our ADR transport page.
Is my cargo insured?
Every shipment is covered by CMR liability insurance as required by the CMR Convention. Because CMR liability is capped by weight (8.33 SDR per kilogram), we recommend additional all-risk cargo insurance for high-value goods - we can arrange it per shipment.
Can I track my shipment?
Yes. All vehicles are GPS tracked 24/7 and your forwarder gives you a status update at loading, at any border crossing and before unloading. For scheduled lanes we can provide regular position reports by email.
What are your payment terms?
For registered companies we invoice after delivery with standard payment terms, agreed individually and usually between 14 and 45 days. New clients and one-off shipments may be asked for payment before unloading or a partial deposit.
