The best decision is to call us.

If you are trying to decide what to do on your own, then you need to establish all the important facts, such as:

  • Does the car have technical problems?
  • Is it possible to repair it on site?
  • Is there a prohibition on driving?
  • Are there any other claims (apart from the technical condition)?
  • What solutions will be acceptable? What is the timeframe?
  • What documents can confirm that the malfunctions/defects have been corrected and how can they be sent to the inspectors?

Question/Answer

In Germany there are 3 different institutions that can control the trucks.

The first and most important is the BAG (Federal Office for Goods Transport). The BAG checks the following:

  • proper payment of the HGV toll
  • Checking that the truck drivers are fit to drive
  • Checking the freight documents and - whether the vehicle and trailer are roadworthy.

Motorway police: A specially equipped police force that ensures safety on motorway roads and partly on federal roads. Checks are carried out:

  • Speed
  • load securing
  • load weight

State police: The state police are not mainly responsible for highways or trucks. However, if it is noticed that the lorry is driving in a serpentine manner or that it is obviously overloaded, the police will intervene and check the lorry.

The officers pay attention to the following:

  • Personal details of the lorry/truck driver and his ability to drive (alcohol and/or drug test).
  • Proper payment of the lorry/truck tolls
  • driving and rest periods are observed
  • freight documents are checked for completeness
  • Code 95
  • Load securing and load weight
  • Roadworthiness of the truck: Tyre tread depth, tyre abrasions or too deep holes. Brake light function etc.

If you get into a police or BAG control and do not understand the language (Google Translate does not help) and/or get certain conditions such as immediate renewal of the tyre, otherwise you will not be allowed to continue your journey, then call us immediately. We will help you to communicate with the police / BAG and organise that the defects are removed and that you can continue your journey.
