Safe parking for truck drivers

Safety & Service: Truck parking in Europe

Why is safe parking so important?

Your guide to safe parking

Safety is a key issue in the transportation industry. Truck drivers face the daily challenge of finding suitable and safe parking spaces that not only comply with legal rest periods, but also ensure the protection of the vehicle and its load. TRAFINEO has set itself the task of solving this problem and offers an extensive network of secure parking facilities throughout Europe.

The increasing number of thefts and loss of cargo in unsecured parking lots poses a considerable risk. This can result not only in material damage, but also delays in the supply chain. It is therefore essential for freight forwarders and drivers to use parking lots that meet high safety standards. Unsecured parking spaces are an easy target for criminals. With high safety standards, TRAFINEO ensures the protection of the driver and load. Billing parking fees can be complicated. TRAFINEO simplifies this process considerably by integrating service and fuel cards.
