Trenčín sits close to the Moravian border: via Horné Srnie or Drietoma a truck reaches the Zlín region in a few hours. Brno is about 260 km by road.

From Trenčín and the Váh valley goods reach the Czech Republic within 1 day – to eastern Moravia over the White Carpathians it is often just a few hours' drive, to Brno about 260 km and to Prague about 460 km.

The shortest international run: Púchov in the morning, Zlín in the afternoon

Only the ridge of the White Carpathians separates the Trenčín region from Moravia, so a shipment can be loaded and delivered in one working day. A typical sequence:

  1. Around 7:00 – loading tyres or parts in Púchov or Považská Bystrica.
  2. Mid-morning – an extra pick-up in Dubnica nad Váhom or Trenčín, then on towards Nemšová.
  3. Crossing the border – over the Vlára pass at Horné Srnie/Brumov towards Valašské Klobouky and Zlín, or from Trenčín via Drietoma and Starý Hrozenkov to Uherský Brod and Uherské Hradiště.
  4. Afternoon – unloading in Zlín, Otrokovice, Uherské Hradiště or Kroměříž.
  5. Evening – for addresses further on, the vehicle continues towards Brno or Olomouc and unloads in the morning.

For Brno and Bohemia we pick, depending on traffic, either the road via Uherský Brod or the D1 motorway past Nové Mesto nad Váhom and Piešťany to Trnava and Bratislava, then the D2 via Lanžhot.

What the Váh valley makes

  • Púchov – car and truck tyres, plus rubber products.
  • Dubnica nad Váhom – engineering, metalworking and automotive parts in the industrial park.
  • Považská Bystrica – machined parts, components for car plants and assemblies.
  • Nové Mesto nad Váhom – assembly and metalworking along the D1 motorway.
  • Trenčín – electrical engineering, machine parts and stand equipment for the local exhibition grounds.

Tyres are light but fill the whole trailer

With tyres, volume decides, not weight. Car tyres are loaded loose in a laced pattern or laid flat in rows up to the roof, so the truck is full long before it nears its 24 t payload. That is why we need the number of pieces and the tyre size, not only the weight. Tyres in cage pallets are counted per pallet – 33 places per trailer. Truck tyres are heavier and usually stand on pallets or are stacked and held with straps. For parts from Dubnica and Považská Bystrica a curtainsider is fine, or for smaller deliveries to a production line a van for roughly 5 to 10 pallets.

Tolls, weekends and a border without checks

Slovakia and the Czech Republic are both in the EU and Schengen, nobody stops at the crossings and the goods need no customs papers. Both countries' electronic tolls are included in the price we quote. In the Czech Republic vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive on Sundays and public holidays between 13:00 and 22:00 – so a Friday collection in Púchov usually ends with delivery that same Friday or on Monday morning.

How to send us a Trenčín enquiry

A short email or call is enough: where from (Trenčín, Púchov, Dubnica…), where to in the Czech Republic or Slovakia, how many pallets or tyres, and by when the goods must arrive. You get a price within 30 minutes in office hours. On this short route we often arrange the vehicle the same or next day after confirmation, and groupage starts at one pallet.

Frequently asked questions

Can goods from Púchov reach Zlín the same day?
Yes, with morning loading it usually works. The vehicle crosses at Horné Srnie over the Vlára pass and can unload in Zlín or Otrokovice in the afternoon.
Which crossing does a truck from Trenčín use to reach Moravia?
For Zlín and Wallachia usually Horné Srnie/Brumov, for Uherský Brod and Uherské Hradiště Drietoma and Starý Hrozenkov. For Brno and Bohemia often the D1 and D2 via Bratislava.
How many tyres fit in one truck?
It depends on tyre size and loading method. Send the number of pieces and the size; we calculate by volume, because the weight usually stays far below the payload.
Do you load tyres loose or on pallets?
Both. Car tyres are often stacked loose in a laced pattern up to the roof; in cage pallets you count 33 places per trailer.
Will you carry parts from the Dubnica nad Váhom industrial park to a car plant in Moravia?
Yes, parts on pallets or in plastic totes go straight to the goods-in dock. Tell us the unloading window and we plan the collection around it.
How far is Považská Bystrica from Brno?
A little further than Trenčín, but delivery within 1 day still works. The exact time depends on whether the truck crosses the White Carpathians or takes the motorway.
Can I send one pallet from Nové Mesto nad Váhom to Hodonín?
Yes, as groupage from 1 pallet. Nové Mesto lies on the D1, so the shipment joins a vehicle heading for Bratislava and Lanžhot.
Will a Friday collection in Trenčín be delivered before the weekend?
In Moravia usually yes. In the Czech Republic vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive on Sundays and holidays from 13:00 to 22:00, so more distant deliveries are planned for Monday.
Do I pay Slovak and Czech tolls on top?
No, both countries' tolls are included in the quoted price.
Do I need a customs declaration for freight from Trenčín to the Czech Republic?
No, goods move duty-free within the EU and nobody stops at the Schengen border. A CMR note and delivery note are enough.
Can you bring stand equipment back from the Trenčín exhibition grounds to the Czech Republic?
Yes, after the event we collect panels, furniture and goods from the stand. Send the dismantling date and the rough volume.
Is the Vlára pass road passable for trucks in winter?
The road is maintained all year, but snow can slow it down. If bad weather is forecast, we prefer the motorway via Bratislava.
Do you also deliver from Trenčín to Žilina or Bratislava?
Yes, besides the Czech Republic we arrange delivery anywhere in Slovakia – Žilina, Bratislava or Košice.
When is a van enough in the Váh valley?
For a few pallets of parts for a production line or an urgent shipment, a van for roughly 5 to 10 pallets will do. Larger tyre volumes need a full trailer.
What goods travel from Moravia back to the Váh valley?
Often materials for engineering and rubber plants, packaging and parts. If you have cargo in that direction too, we offer a round trip.
