Then you are obliged to make sure that you have the necessary transport permits\/transport licenses. Today we want to explain typical errors in this context. Because mistakes do not protect you from fines.   <\/p>\n<p>In the case of <strong>error no. 1<\/strong>, the client overlooks the fact that the transport license &#8211; which he has dutifully had presented to him &#8211; has not been issued for the transporting company. There is often a similarity in name as well as a connection between the company holding the license and the company actually transporting the goods. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Transport licenses do not apply across group boundaries. Therefore, when commissioning transport companies, make sure that the transport license is actually issued to this company and not to a sister, subsidiary or parent company. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Mistake no. 2<\/strong> concerns transportation within a group of companies. Within a group of companies, it is often not clearly differentiated which company carries out transportation for which company. The error consists of the assumption that transportation within a group of companies always qualifies as transport for own account. A transport permit is not required to carry out own-account transport. However, it should be noted that    <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Group transportation is not automatically transportation for own purposes. The transportation of goods by a legally independent company for another, also legally independent company, is not considered transportation for its own purposes even if the two companies belong to the same group. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Error no. 3<\/strong> concerns the regulation according to which the transportation of goods by commercial agents, commercial brokers and commission agents is subject to the regulations on own-account transport. Here it is sometimes overlooked that the regulation is linked to the condition that a motor vehicle is used whose payload, including the payload of a trailer, must not exceed 4 tons. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If your commercial agents, commercial brokers and commission agents do not have a transport license and rely on the extended own-account transport regulations for transport, make sure that only motor vehicles whose payload, including the payload of a trailer, does not exceed 4 tons are used. Otherwise, a transport license is required. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is not a mistake, but true that transport with vehicles that have a total weight \/ total mass including trailer of no more than 3.5 tons does not require a transport license.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/14-Linked-in-Collagen-divers-42.png\" width=\"400\" height=\"320\" alt=\" \" title=\" \"><\/p>\n<section>\n<h2 class=\"section-title\">The author and your usual contacts will be happy to answer any questions you may have!<\/h2>\n<div class=\"single-contact-person\">\n<div class=\"single-contact-person--image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/13-hebrant-2024.jpg\" alt=\"Gisela Hebrant\" title=\"Gisela Hebrant\" width=\"1665\" height=\"1581\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"single-contact-person--text\">\n<p><strong><a href=\"\/f-1-29-117-gisela-hebrant-ll-m.html\">Gisela Hebrant, LL.M.<\/a><\/strong> <br \/> hebrant@tigges.legal <br \/> +49 211 8687 185<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our new series TransporTrends, together with the Kompetenznetz Logistik.NRW \/ LOG-IT Club e.V., we regularly provide information on current topics, decisions and trends in transport and logistics law &#8211; here on misconceptions about group licenses, group works traffic and commission agent regulations.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7686,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[207],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-transportrends"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7684"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7684\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7684"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7684"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tigges.legal\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7684"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
