Cabotage tracking that warns before you breach the limit
Cabotage rules cap how much domestic transport a foreign-registered vehicle may perform, on a rolling window, with a cooling-off period. TruckThrust watches every cross-border movement against the limits that apply to each driver, vehicle and operator, and warns before the next leg would push you over.
Who it's for
- Dispatchers accepting cross-border and domestic legs
- Compliance officers evidencing cabotage activity
- Owner-operators running international work
- Fleet managers overseeing multi-country operations
Problems it solves
- Rolling cabotage windows are hard to track by hand
- A single extra domestic leg can breach the limit
- Evidence of movements is required at checks
- Rules and cooling-off periods vary and change
What it does
- Per-country trip counters with automatic window resets
- Pre-departure cabotage check before you accept the next job
- Border-crossing log, signed and timestamped
- Operator-side overview for dispatch
How it works
Detect
Border crossings and domestic legs are detected and counted against the applicable window.
Check
Before accepting the next leg, the app shows whether it fits within the cabotage limit.
Evidence
A timestamped, signed movement log is ready to present when required.
Why it matters
- Avoid cabotage breaches and their penalties
- Faster, more confident job acceptance
- Clean evidence trail for checks
Important: TruckThrust supports cabotage decisions and record-keeping; it does not guarantee legal compliance. Responsibility remains with the operator.
Cabotage is governed by EU market-access rules (including the Mobility Package changes). Requirements, limits and cooling-off periods can change — verify against the official texts.
Frequently asked questions
How does the cabotage counter work?

Does it cover the cooling-off period?
It tracks activity against the applicable rules including cooling-off requirements; always confirm the current rules for the countries you operate in.
