The core business of LKW WALTER is the organisation of full truck loads for road and in combined transport. Our focus is the transport of harmless, packaged goods from the following industries: consumer goods, wood and paper, chemicals, metals, automotive and electronics.
FTL is an abbreviation for "full truck load".
The LKW WALTER transport company is a one-stop shop for full truck loads throughout Europe. We transport your goods throughout Europe and to/from Russia, Central Asia, North Africa, and the Middle East. In addition, we also process national transport in individual EU states (Austria, Germany, Great Britain, Spain, France and Sweden).
Opt for LKW WALTER and trust the European market leader for full truck loads. We have more than 60 years of experience in Eastern European logistics, as well as the appropriate language skills. You will benefit from both in every phase of your transport order, from the booking to delivery.
With LKW WALTER you have one partner for all European truck loads on your side, who offers you the highest standards in terms of quality, safety and environmental protection. You will benefit from innovative transport solutions in combined transport and enjoy personal and competent support in all European languages.
Each transport is individual with its own unique requirements (equipment, duration, quantity, loading/unloading window etc.). Transport costs can quickly change depending on market conditions. Therefore, LKW WALTER does not operate with a fixed price list. Our Transport Managers always try to find the solution with the best price/performance ratio for you.
Customs clearance is easily and efficiently solved by LKW WALTER. LKW WALTER has customs agents in almost all major ports and at the busiest border crossings.

LKW WALTER takes delivery of your goods on a daily basis. We rely on an efficient network of selected transport partners throughout Europe. Thereby we can guarantee adequate freight space at all times, as well as optimal response and transit times.
LKW WALTER has a Europe-wide transport partner network, consisting of more than 11,000 selected transport partners, who are carefully selected according to our high quality standards. As well as road transport, we also rely on combined transport, in which we are one of the biggest participants with more than 15,000 cranable trailers.
Each new transport partner undergoes a demanding selection process with strict criteria. The fulfilment of these criteria is regularly monitored during the course of the collaboration. In addition, we offer our partners regular opportunities for further training.
13.6 m curtain siders (trailer and tautliner) are used as standard. If necessary, and only on certain routes, we can provide other types of trailers (mega trailers, jumbo, semi-trailers, small trucks etc.). In combined transport we also use cranable trailers. Cranable mega trailers (internal height: 3 m) and special trailers with coil troughs are also available.
Intermodal transport solutions from LKW WALTER offer many advantages. For example, the provision of stand-by equipment, a higher payload of up to 29 tonnes, larger cargo capacities up to 36 EUR pallets and the avoidance of driving restrictions at night or on public holidays.
Since the beginning of the 1980s, LKW WALTER has focused on innovative transport alternatives to conventional road transport. Through the consistent expansion of our intermodal network, we are now one of the largest participants in combined transport in Europe.
The combined transport network of LKW WALTER covers the Benelux states, Germany, France, Greece, Great Britain/Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Tunisia, Austria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, Scandinavia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Spain, Portugal, Czechia and Hungary.
The combination of truck, rail and/or ship is a very efficient and environmentally-friendly form of transport. LKW WALTER has optimised it to the highest level. We have achieved this by continuously investing in modern equipment, among other things. We have more than 15,000 cranable trailers.
The combination of truck, rail and/or ship is an efficient and environmentally-friendly way of transporting goods. LKW WALTER distinguishes itself as a responsible company that makes a significant contribution to the reduction of pollutant emissions and CO2.

Yes, the Code of Conduct is intended as a guide for the decisions and business practices of our employees and executives. It defines the principles of our ethical conduct, workplace behaviour and the use of company property.
For LKW WALTER, quality primarily means optimally fulfilling the expectations of our customers. Therefore, we implemented the ISO 9001 standard throughout the company. Compliance with this standard is monitored by an in-house Shared Service SHEQ Management team, who also publish their activities in the company report.
Safety is an important topic for LKW WALTER. Our numerous measures help protect people and freight as best as possible during transportation. For example, we have developed and implemented a Driver Training booklet and Driver Handbook, in accordance with international guidelines, for our transport partners and their drivers. These include preventative measures to reduce the risk of criminal access to goods. In addition, our management system is certified according to the internationally recognised standards: SQAS (Safety and Quality Assessment for Sustainability) and HACCP (Hazard Analyses and Critical Control Points). (Note: HACCP as of December 2016).
Scheduling vehicles exclusively on "circular routes" - and thus avoiding empty journeys - has been a standard since the fifties. By shifting from road transport to "rail" and "Short Sea Shipping" carriers, we considerably reduce polluting emissions, in particular greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. In 2009, LKW WALTER was one of the founders of the European Responsible Care Initiative and it is also an active member of Green Freight Europe.
For many years environmental conservation has been a major concern for LKW WALTER. We rely on transport partners with environmentally-friendly trucks, we constantly invest in the latest equipment for combined transport, we use short sea shipping as an environmentally-friendly transport alternative and we continually optimise our transport planning. Which is why we are now one of the leading providers in environmentally-friendly transport solutions.
Of course! LKW WALTER takes data protection very seriously and handles your data with the utmost confidentiality!
