If international transport is involved, these points could be of interest:

Do you wish to avoid problems caused by impoundment of your haulage vehicle and subsequent summonses in countries of the EU?

Then, you only have to contact GESTRANS. The Gestrans system of support for the TIR haulage driver is, as you probably already know, the best guarantee for travelling throughout Europe.

Everything has been thought of ...accidents, sanctions, mechanical problems, robots, etc.
Whatever the case Gestrans will be there to help in any corner of the EU in a matter of minutes. Just a simple phone call to our 24-HOUR CONTROL CENTRE (+34 607 227 230 or +34 902 242 124), where professionals specialising in transport and experienced in European languages and legislation, will assist you and provide immediate solutions to your problem.

Experience has shown us that, when a haulage driver is detained and summonsed in a country other than their own, the bureaucratic procedures for their release is eternal and in certain States (Germany or France, for example) the situation involves such high fines that quite often the driver does not have the ready cash to meet the sanction.

In these cases the problems multiply, the vehicle being impounded until the fine is paid and, being away from home, not always being possible to come up with the money.

To avoid these problems, GESTRANS has a solution. When the vehicle is retained in a member country of the EU and under a summons, the driver has to contact our associated company in that country, the 24-hour telephone number which the client will be previously be provided with. In a short space of time, a representative will turn up and pay the fine (no matter how high) so that the driver may continue their journey without even having to get out of the vehicle cab.

When your load or vehicle is retained, it is number one worry. At Gestrans we know that time is money and so our number one priority is to free the vehicle in the shortest possible time.
To this end, we have professionals on call 24 hours a day throughout the whole of Europe and who are able to negotiate the release of the vehicle with the authorities of whatever country.
