Transport using your trailer
Have a specific trailer but no availability to transport it yourself? Let our experienced and reliable drivers take care of the transport and safely deliver your load to its destination.
What does transport using the customer's trailer entail?
This type of transport, also known as tractor unit hire or traction services, means that we provide only the tractor unit and driver. The trailer (and often the cargo as well) remains the property of the customer. Our driver collects the trailer at your site or at an agreed location, carries out the journey and uncouples it at the destination or returns it empty.
The difference compared with traditional freight transport is that you continue to use your own equipment. Your trailer, perfectly suited to your products and equipped with the right loading platform, securing points or bodywork, remains in use.
You only hire the capacity you are missing at that moment: the pulling power and the expertise of an experienced professional driver. Contact us for more information and a tailored quote!
Flexible
We can easily help you handle peak periods and driver shortages, so your customers do not have to wait.
Perfectly tailored
You know your own equipment better than anyone and therefore know exactly how it should be prepared for transport. And of course, your own trailer and company branding remain visible throughout the journey.
Your schedule comes first
By separating loading from transport, you can prioritise your own planning. Your warehouse team prepares everything, and our driver takes care of the transport.
Safe
Because the load is checked twice - first by your own staff and then by our driver - you can rely on a safe and smooth delivery.
Carefree transport without giving up control
The advantage of this solution is that you can outsource the transport without giving up control over your logistics. You decide what is loaded, how it is secured and which equipment is used. We take care of the rest: tractor unit planning, driver allocation, compliance with driving and rest time regulations, and monitoring the journey all the way to the recipient.
You do not need to invest in additional tractor units, search for drivers or take responsibility for the maintenance, insurance and inspections of vehicles you only need during part of the year.
At the same time, you retain the flexibility to use your own fleet when capacity is available and bring in external transport capacity when needed.

A question about one of our services? We love to help you find the right solution.
Your trailer must be technically roadworthy, have a valid inspection certificate and be properly insured. It must also be compatible with our tractor unit.
In addition, we make sure our drivers have the appropriate qualifications and experience for your specific type of cargo, so the transport can be carried out safely and correctly.
Clear agreements are made in advance. In most cases, you are responsible for the maintenance and inspection of the trailer, and often also for loading and securing the cargo.
We are responsible for the transport itself and the checks carried out before departure, ensuring everything is ready for a safe and smooth journey.
Absolutely. During a seasonal peak or for a fixed period of regular transport, you can work with the same driver consistently.
Over time, the driver becomes familiar with your processes, equipment and delivery locations, making your transport operations even more efficient and seamless.
Availability always depends on the period and our current planning. In the event of an unexpected peak or driver absence, we will work with you to find a suitable solution.
As always, the earlier we know what you need, the easier it is for us to respond quickly and plan the right driver and tractor unit.
