Truck driver lives for days without accommodation in the parking lot in Haslach!

A truck driver lived in a parking lot without sanitary facilities in Haslach in the Kinzigtal, Ortenaukreis for several days. According to zvw.de should have provided his employer for several weeks not at home.

For the disregard of labor law provisions, the responsible company must pay a security deposit of almost 3,000 euros. Especially with weekly rest periods of more than 45 hours, companies are legally obliged to provide their drivers available to their drivers. These regulations are defined by both European and German law.

The regulation applies to goods transport with vehicles over 3.5 tons and to passport transport with vehicles for more than nine people. From July 1, 2026, the scope will be expanded to transport goods in international traffic with vehicles over 2.5 tons. The provisions include a maximum steering time of 9 hours, a daily rest period of at least 11 hours and the obligation of the transport companies to organize the return of the drivers to the company center or place of residence.
