POSTING OF DRIVERS
For non-EU and TWA drivers
Posting of drivers is mandatory for transport operations requiring national declarations (SIPSI, MILOG, Distacco, LSDB). Non-compliance can lead to penalties. Move Expert manages your posting declarations and ensures full regulatory compliance.
NATIONAL POSTING DECLARATIONS
in certain european host countries, national posting declarations may be mandatory for drivers posted by non-eu transport companies, temporary work agencies (twas), or within intra-group.
WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
Each country that applies special rules to posted drivers uses its own declaration system, such as SIPSI (France), MiLog (Germany), LSDB (Austria), Distacco (Italy).
Failure to register posted drivers in these systems can result in serious consequences, including fines, truck immobilisation, or suspension of operating licences.

FAQ: NATIONAL DECLARATIONS ON THE POSTING OF DRIVERS IN EUROPE
In which countries do transport companies still need to use national systems to declare posted drivers?
Although the Mobility Package introduced the European IMI posting declaration system, some countries still require specific national declaration procedures for certain compliance checks.
This is particularly relevant in countries such as France (SIPSI), Italy (Distacco), Germany (MILOG), and Austria (LSDB).
Managing these national requirements can be complex for transport companies operating internationally. Move Expert handles all driver posting declarations and ensures full compliance with national regulations on your behalf.
When is a national driver posting declaration required?
A national declaration is usually required when a driver performs activities on the territory of another country. This may include:
- cabotage operations
- certain international transport operations involving loading or unloading locally
- transport activities considered as economic activity within that country.
To avoid administrative errors, Move Expert manages the entire declaration process and ensures that your drivers are properly registered before each operation.
What is the difference between the IMI declaration and national posting systems?
The IMI portal was introduced by the Mobility Package to centralize driver posting declarations across the European Union.
However, some countries still require additional national registration systems to monitor local labor regulations, including minimum wage rules and employment conditions for drivers.
Move Expert ensures that all required declarations are submitted through the correct platforms, whether European or national.
How are drivers declared in Germany under the MILOG regulation?
In Germany, foreign transport companies must comply with the Minimum Wage Act (MILOG) when drivers perform certain operations on German territory. Companies may need to register drivers through the Meldeportal Mindestlohn and ensure that minimum wage rules are respected.
Move Expert manages MILOG declarations and ensures that your transport operations remain compliant with German labor regulations.
How does the Distacco declaration work for drivers operating in Italy?
In Italy, posted workers must be declared through the Distacco portal. Transport companies are required to submit information regarding:
- the transport company
- the posted driver
- the duration and nature of the transport operation in Italy.
Move Expert takes care of the entire Distacco declaration process, ensuring that all information is correctly submitted before the operation begins.
What is the LSDB declaration for drivers operating in Austria?
Austria enforces strict rules under the LSDB law (Anti-Wage and Social Dumping Act) to ensure that posted workers receive fair working conditions. Foreign transport companies may be required to declare drivers and demonstrate compliance with Austrian labor standards.
Move Expert manages LSDB declarations and ensures your drivers meet all Austrian compliance requirements
Which documents must drivers carry during a roadside inspection?
During roadside checks, authorities may request several documents to verify driver posting compliance, including:
- proof of driver posting declaration
- transport documents such as CMR or e-CMR
- tachograph records
- company and driver identification details.
Move Expert helps transport companies prepare and manage all required documentation to ensure drivers are fully compliant during inspections.
What are the penalties for failing to submit a national driver posting declaration?
Failure to comply with driver posting regulations may result in significant penalties, including:
- administrative fines
- operational restrictions
- financial penalties per driver involved
Depending on the country, fines can reach several thousand euros per violation. By outsourcing compliance to Move Expert, transport companies can significantly reduce the risk of penalties.
