FAQ

What are the VLM = traffic management measures?

VLMs can also be prescribed by the authorities after the permit has been obtained, even at short notice before the journey, if there are obstacles such as roadworks etc. on the motorway section to be travelled that require additional permits or conditions from BFZ escorts. The costs incurred are to be regarded as additional.

Types of authorisations?

Individual authorisation: Applies exclusively to a single journey in one direction of travel within a specific time period.
Multiple authorisation: Valid for a certain number of journeys within a certain period of time. They are only granted if the type, size and weight of the transported freight and the predetermined transport route are always the same.
Permanent authorisation: Valid for an unlimited number of journeys within a specified period, only possible for oversized goods with indivisible loads and not for overweight goods apart from construction machinery.


Validity of the authorisations?

Single authorisations: 3 months
Multiple authorisations: 6 months
Permanent licences: 12 months

Processing time until the authorisations are received?

Please note that the waiting time given by us can only be approximate, as there are many factors that influence it, such as the complexity of the transport or even the availability of staff in the authorities (often holiday periods and public holidays have an influence on the waiting time).

What is an indivisible load?

A load is indivisible if its dismantling is impossible for technical reasons or would cause unreasonable costs.
