Regular transport and transport there and back

Regular transport and transport there and back

Knapek Spedition arranges regular transport for companies across the Czech Republic and to 24 European countries – on fixed days, on the same route and at a rate agreed for a longer period. Regular transport can also run there and back, with the vehicle carrying a load in both directions (for example goods to the customer and returnable packaging back). The vehicle comes from a network of 500+ vetted carriers and you get a quote within 30 minutes.

Regular transport for companies that ship goods repeatedly: fixed loading days, the same route and transport there and back, with the vehicle carrying a load in both directions.

What regular transport means

With regular transport you ship goods repeatedly on the same route – every week, several times a week or daily. Instead of requesting a quote for every shipment, we agree everything once: the route, loading days, vehicle type and a rate for a longer period. We arrange regular transport across the Czech Republic and to 24 European countries, from a single pallet to a full truck.

Transport there and back

With transport there and back the vehicle does not run in one direction only. It loads at your site, delivers the goods to the recipient and on the way back loads the next consignment – returnable packaging, empty pallets, parts from a supplier or goods for your warehouse. Transport there and back with one vehicle cuts empty kilometres, and both legs are agreed as one run.

A run can also have several stops: for example loading in Brno, unloading in Vienna, loading in Linz and back to Brno. We plan the route around your sites and time slots.

Who regular transport suits

  • Manufacturers supplying a customer's warehouse or bringing parts to an assembly line (automotive, engineering).
  • Retail and e-commerce with deliveries to branches or warehouses abroad.
  • Companies with returnable packaging – mesh boxes, crates or pallets that must come back.
  • Importers regularly collecting goods from the same place in Europe.

How regular transport is agreed

  1. Route and frequency – from where, to where, how often, and whether it runs one way or there and back.
  2. Goods and vehicle – number of pallets, weight, height, tail lift or temperature control if needed.
  3. Fixed days and times – loading and unloading within your time slots.
  4. A rate for a longer period – price per run or per round trip, with no new quote every time.
  5. Day to day – just tell dispatch about a change of date or quantity, and you know where every shipment is.

We most often arrange regular transport on the routes Plzeň → Munich and Plzeň → Nuremberg, Prague → Dresden and Liberec → Dresden, Brno → Vienna and Prague → Vienna, České Budějovice → Linz, Brno → Bratislava, Ostrava → Wrocław and Ostrava → Katowice.

Frequently asked questions

What is regular transport?
Repeated shipments on the same route on agreed days – once a week, several times a week or daily. We agree the route, vehicle and rate once for a longer period.
What does transport there and back mean?
The vehicle runs a loop: it loads at your site, unloads at the recipient, picks up the return load and comes back. Both legs are agreed as one run there and back.
Is transport there and back cheaper than two separate trips?
Usually yes, because the vehicle does not return empty and both legs are planned together. We work out the exact rate from the route, frequency and goods.
How often can you run regular transport?
As often as you need – once a week, several times a week or daily. The frequency can be adjusted, for example by season.
Do you arrange regular transport for one or a few pallets?
Yes. We send smaller shipments regularly as groupage or by van, and larger quantities as a full truckload.
Can I have the same loading day every time?
Yes. We agree fixed days and time slots for loading and unloading in advance so the transport fits your operations.
How is the price of regular transport set?
We agree a rate per run or per round trip for a longer period, based on the route, frequency, quantity and vehicle type. You do not need to request a new quote for every shipment.
What if the quantity or date changes once?
Just let dispatch know – we adjust the vehicle or the date so the transport goes ahead.

For example Plzeň–Munich, Plzeň–Nuremberg, Prague–Dresden, Liberec–Dresden, Brno–Vienna, Prague–Vienna, České Budějovice–Linz, Brno–Bratislava, Ostrava–Wrocław and Ostrava–Katowice, and daily between Prague and Brno. Other routes can be agreed.
