France holds a special place on the freight transport map. One of Europe’s largest When Trucks Can’t Drive, They Can Still Be Serviced
Public holidays across Europe don’t just close offices – for many fleets, they close the roads too. Countries like Germany and France enforce driving bans on Sundays and public holidays for trucks over 7.5 tonnes, and dozens of these restricted days are scattered throughout the year. For carriers, that adds up to real, unavoidable downtime.
The instinct is to wait it out. The smarter move is to use it.
Turn Downtime Into Service Time
Every hour a truck can’t legally be on the road is an hour it could be in the shop instead. With the TRELO holiday calendar, you can check service availability across our repair centres and plan maintenance or repairs around the exact days your fleet is already grounded. No extra downtime, no lost driving days.
Plan Ahead, Not Behind
The difference is timing. Instead of scrambling for a service slot once restrictions lift, and losing more road time waiting for an opening, you book around the ban itself. Your truck goes in during the restriction and comes out ready to move the moment the roads reopen.
Backed by a Network You Can Rely On
This only works because TRELO has the reach to make it practical. With repair centres in Lithuania, Belgium, Germany, and France, and more than 15 years spent keeping trucks and trailers on the road for carriers across Europe, we know how to turn a forced stop into a productive one.
Plan Service Smarter. Keep Your Fleet Moving.
Driving bans aren’t going away, but lost time doesn’t have to be part of the deal. Check the TRELO holiday calendar, plan your next service window, and get your truck back on the road the moment restrictions lift.
