Slovenia in both directions
Slovenia is close enough that most shipments arrive the same or next day. Loading in Croatia is mostly in and around Zagreb (Donja Zelina, Donja Bistra, Rugvica) and in Međimurje; unloading in Ljubljana and its surroundings, Celje and the Savinjska region, and the Podravska region (Ormož, Maribor).
About one in four export shipments travels on a temperature-controlled reefer, most often at +16 to +18 °C for goods that must not overheat or freeze, including full trucks for distribution centres in Ljubljana.
From Slovenia to Croatia we mostly move building materials and pipes from Lower Carniola (Trebnje), the Ljubljana area (Mengeš) and Koper. Deliveries go to Zagreb and its surroundings and to Slavonia, about a third to Osijek-Baranja county.
What we organise
From a single pallet to regular daily trucks.
Full truckload (FTL)
A 13.6 m curtainsider or mega trailer for your goods only, mostly unloaded the same or next day.
Temperature-controlled
Reefers at a set temperature, most often +16 to +18 °C. State the temperature in your enquiry.
Groupage
For a few pallets: your goods travel in a shared truck and you pay for the space they take.
From Koper and the coast
Collection in Koper and the Coastal–Karst region and delivery to Croatia, as a full truck or groupage.
How a shipment works
One dispatcher from enquiry to confirmed delivery.
Enquiry
Loading and delivery addresses, goods, pallet count or weight, vehicle type if known and the date the goods are ready.
Quote
The dispatcher checks carriers who drive the lane and sends price, vehicle type and timing.
Loading
We agree the loading slot directly with the shipper in Croatia or Slovenia and send the truck and driver details in advance.
Unloading
We confirm the arrival time and send the signed CMR as proof of delivery.

What affects the price
We do not publish a price list, because the price depends on the shipment. These are the main factors:
- Distance and toll
- Zagreb – Ljubljana is about 140 km; the Slovenian truck toll is charged per kilometre.
- Full truck or groupage
- A whole truck or only the space your goods take.
- Temperature
- A temperature-controlled reefer costs more than a curtainsider.
- Timing
- Same-day unloading needs earlier loading and a carrier available at that time.
Documents
For freight within the EU, this is all you need:
CMR consignment note
Issued at loading and travels with the goods. The copy signed at unloading is the proof of delivery.
No customs clearance
Croatia and Slovenia are both in the EU, so goods in free circulation need no customs declaration. The shipper provides the invoice and delivery note.
Liability for the goods
Under the CMR Convention, carrier liability is limited to 8.33 SDR per kilogram of gross weight. For higher-value goods we recommend additional cargo insurance.
