International Road Freight
Door-to-door international road freight from Slovakia to 28 European countries. Route planning, CMR documentation, customs coordination and GPS-tracked delivery from one forwarder.
Road freight across Europe, organised end to end
International road freight is the backbone of European supply chains - and the part most likely to go wrong when nobody is watching it. DMF Express plans, books, documents and monitors the whole movement from the moment the goods leave your ramp until the signed CMR comes back to you.
Our focus is freight within the European Union: no customs formalities at internal borders, common road transport rules, and the main Central European corridors - to Austria, Czechia, Germany, Hungary and Poland - within a day’s drive. For routes outside the EU we take care of the customs documents as well.
What the service covers
- Route planning and pricing - realistic transit times based on driving-time regulations, toll costs, border crossings and seasonal restrictions, not a generic per-kilometre rate.
- Vehicle selection - our own 7.2 t curtain-side vehicles for consignments up to 3 200 kg and 15 Euro pallets, or standard, mega and jumbo trailers from our carrier network for anything up to 24 t.
- Transport documentation - CMR consignment notes, ADR documentation where applicable, and coordination of export declarations and T1 transit documents for non-EU traffic.
- Cargo insurance - CMR liability cover on every shipment, €600,000 liability cover for domestic transport within Germany, and optional all-risk cargo insurance for high-value goods.
- Tracking and reporting - GPS position data, status updates at loading, border and unloading, and proof of delivery returned promptly.

Why clients move their lanes to us
Most new clients come to us after a bad experience with a pure brokerage - a price that changed after loading, a vehicle that never arrived, or a forwarder who stopped answering when the truck was late. Because we operate our own fleet, we carry part of the risk ourselves, and that changes how we quote: we price what the route actually costs, and then we stand behind it.
The practical result is boring in the best possible way. The truck arrives in the agreed window, the paperwork is correct the first time, and you hear from us before you have to ask.
Getting a quote
Send the loading and unloading addresses, the gross weight, the dimensions or pallet count, the loading date and anything unusual about the sites - ramp, tail lift, forklift, restricted access, timed slot. On working days you will normally have a firm price within 15 minutes.
