Rest in a bed, not the cab
EU law requires the regular weekly rest period to be taken in accommodation outside the vehicle. Since 1 July 2026, tachographs are also mandatory for light commercial vehicles of 2.5 to 3.5 t in international transport. At the Business-Motel, drivers park their vehicle right in front of their room.
Dispatchers and haulage companies can arrange fixed allocations of parking spaces and rooms: service@projektcampus.de.
