From Miskolc and north-east Hungary we bring goods to the Czech Republic in 2–3 days; Brno is about 540 km away and Prague about 730 km, and because the route crosses Slovakia, part of the load can be dropped there on the way.
Borsod, Heves and Szabolcs: what is loaded around Miskolc
- Miskolc – engineering, electrical goods and automotive parts from the industrial parks on the edge of the city.
- Tiszaújváros – plastic granulate in big bags and on pallets, plastic products.
- Kazincbarcika – industrial site in the Sajó valley; part loads and pallets for construction and manufacturing.
- Nyíregyháza – tyres, toys from a large factory near the city, and food from the surrounding farmland.
- Eger and Tokaj – wine in cartons and wooden cases, always with an excise document.
Two ways north: via Košice or via Budapest
Two sensible lines lead from Miskolc to us. The M30 motorway ends at the border near Tornyosnémeti, where the Slovak crossing at Milhosť connects to the expressway into Košice. The other option is the M30 and M3 to Budapest, then the M1 to Győr, the M15 to the Rajka crossing and through Bratislava on the D2 to Brno. Which one we use depends mainly on the delivery point:
| Where the goods go | Usual route | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Košice, Prešov, eastern Slovakia | M30 – Tornyosnémeti/Milhosť | only a short stretch, often unloaded the same day |
| Žilina, Ostrava, Olomouc | via Košice, then north via Poprad and Žilina | shortest link to northern Moravia |
| Bratislava, Brno, southern Moravia | Budapest – M1 – Rajka – D2 | motorway all the way, no mountain sections |
| Prague and Bohemia | Budapest – Bratislava – Brno – D1 | smoothest drive over a long distance |
On the northern route part of the load can be delivered in eastern and central Slovakia; on the southern route in Bratislava or western Slovakia.
Hungarian rules: HU-GO, weekends and national holidays
Truck tolls in Hungary are charged per kilometre through the HU-GO system; together with Slovak and Czech tolls they are included in the price we quote. Trucks over 7.5 t face weekend and holiday driving restrictions in Hungary, so Friday afternoon is not an ideal loading slot for distant addresses. We also watch Hungarian national holidays such as 15 March, 20 August and 23 October, when warehouses are often closed. Goods from Hungary are EU goods, so they travel without customs and nobody stops at the Schengen borders.
Planning a shipment from Miskolc
Plastic granulate in big bags is loaded by forklift and secured in the trailer so the bags do not lean on the curtain. Tyres from Nyíregyháza are a matter of volume, and wine from Eger and Tokaj travels in cartons on film-wrapped pallets. For machine parts from Miskolc we need the weight and centre of gravity. A full truck takes 33 euro pallets and about 24 t; smaller shipments go as groupage from one pallet.
In your enquiry, give the loading point (Miskolc, Eger, Tiszaújváros, Nyíregyháza…), the address in the Czech Republic or Slovakia, the type and amount of goods and the ready date. We send a price within 30 minutes in office hours and usually arrange the vehicle within 24 hours of confirmation.
