Does cabotage apply to Go Trans as a logistics broker?

No. Cabotage regulations apply to the licensed road haulier holding a Community Licence issued under EU Regulation 1072/2009. Go Trans is a logistics broker — it arranges freight through carrier partners and does not operate vehicles. The carriers DSV and DHL Freight hold the Community Licences and are subject to cabotage rules when performing domestic transport in EU member states where they are not registered. Go Trans arranges the shipment; the compliance obligation for cabotage sits with the carrier operating the vehicle.
