About us
We are a transport company that has been operating on the market since 1992. We were one of the first companies in the Czech Republic to start providing groupage transport to and from England. The company is managed by its managing director, Jaroslav Šubrt, an experienced logistician with forty years of experience in the field. The managing director was even one of ten drivers who drove the first ten SCANIA trucks from Sodertälje, Sweden, to what was then Czechoslovakia.
We operate in our own premises in Kutná Hora in the former factory of the Institute of Mineral Resources. Our premises are located between the train station and Phillip Morris ČR a.s., a short distance from the exit of road 38. We have a storage area of 4,000 m2. We own twenty-six truck sets, including ten tandems.
Currently, we mainly handle FTL and LTL orders in the Czech Republic, to the United Kingdom, Spain and back. Of course, we are also used to providing our services throughout the European Union.
We are now operating a truck equipment sale and purchase business – TIR Šubrt in the premises. Another new feature is that we have an approved project for a car and truck wash, including a buffet. Drivers coming to us will have the opportunity to eat, rest and wash their cars.
In the future, we have a vision of creating a truck service.
Below you can see our Volvo treasure from 1976. Only about 450 of them were imported to the then Czechoslovakia. This particular piece was driven by the now defunct ČSAD Praha – Klíčov, where the company’s executive also worked. Currently, it is the only set in such a well-preserved condition in the former Czechoslovakia. Once upon a time, all truckers were proud to be able to drive it. Today, it is the pride of the executive and only he can drive it. The other photos show the company’s office space, some employees and models of our cars.

Mr. Jaroslav Šubrt and a little history
During the communist era, there were about 2,000 trucks in Czechoslovakia for domestic and international transport. A driver who wanted to drive abroad had to literally start from scratch, had to be technically proficient, trained in the field and a bit of a romantic. The truck had to be everything to him. At that time, it was work and hard work at the same time. The driver’s reward was a few truly extraordinary moments, for that time. At least that’s how I and a few people around me who I knew perceived it. Unfortunately, many of them are no longer with us. Truck transport has changed a lot since then. Everything is significantly simpler, more comfortable. The roads were less clear back then and technology had not yet made such progress. Navigation was often only possible with a map and one had to rely mainly on one’s instincts and experience. We formed a community on the roads. We were truckers who helped each other when the going got tough. When a truck broke down somewhere in the middle of nowhere, it was certain that sooner or later one of my colleagues would stop and offer a helping hand. I will always miss this camaraderie.
I am glad that I experienced those old times, 11 years at ČSAD really gave me a lot. On the other hand, it is a relief that today’s traffic madness is slowly ending for me. I am glad that I experienced all those trips and the problems associated with them, daily repairs and preparations for the trip, money in many currencies in the countries I traveled through.
Jaroslav Šubrt, 2024
