The end of the year is a natural time to take stock of the activities that shaped the company’s daily operations and strategic development. For XL LOGISTICS, it was a time of intensive work, consistent decisions and further strengthening its position in the European transport market.
The past few months have been marked by high operational loads, growing volumes and increasing customer expectations for on-time, flexible and secure delivery. In response to these challenges, we have consistently developed our fleet, team competencies and technology solutions to support supply chain efficiency.
Modern fleet as the foundation of reliability
Investing in a modern and specialized fleet remains one of the key elements of our strategy. Double Deck trailers, tractors that meet the highest technical standards, and route monitoring and control systems allow us to carry out transports predictably and safely – even during peak logistics periods.
Expanding the fleet not only means greater operational capabilities, but also real support for customers in terms of:

• Optimization of transportation costs,
• reduction in the number of courses,
• stability of supply with increasing volumes,
• Reducing the environmental impact of transportation.

A team that creates quality
Behind every execution is a team – experienced drivers, dispatchers and operational specialists who ensure the quality and safety of services every day. In the past year, we paid special attention to the development of competencies, including. through specialized training in economic and safe driving, time management and operational standards.
It is the combination of technology, fleet and people knowledge that allows us to build long-term relationships with business partners.
Ready for more challenges
The photo of our fleet that we publish with this summary is not only a symbol of the scale of our operations, but above all a confirmation of our readiness for the next market challenges. We are entering a new period with clearly defined priorities: further optimization of processes, development of specialized services, and maintenance of the highest service standards.
We would like to thank all customers and partners for their trust and the XL LOGISTICS team for their commitment, which translates into a smoothly functioning supply chain across Europe every day.

Our fleet goes from strength to strength – more DAF tractors at XL LOGISTICS

Fleet development is one of the key elements of XL LOGISTICS’ strategy. For 19 years, we have consistently invested in modern transportation solutions, building a stable and reliable position in the TSL market. Today we are proud to announce that more DAF tractor units have joined our fleet – vehicles that meet the highest standards in efficiency, safety and sustainability.

Why do we invest in new vehicles?

The dynamic development of international transportation requires operators not only to be flexible, but also to continuously improve the quality of their services. The new DAF tractors are for us:

• Greater efficiency in transportation processes – lower combustion and better fleet utilization,
• Driver safety and comfort – ergonomic cabs, advanced support systems,
• Timeliness and predictability of deliveries – modern monitoring and planning technologies,
• ESG compliance – vehicles that meet the highest emission standards and are part of a sustainable development strategy.

Investments with partners in mind

Each step in development is more than a new technology for us – it is a commitment to our customers and business partners. By expanding the fleet, we are ensuring even higher reliability and greater capacity to handle even the most demanding transportation projects in Europe.

XL LOGISTICS – We Deliver

We believe that a strong technical and human resource base is the foundation for lasting, responsible relationships. Therefore, the slogan “We Deliver” is not just a promise, but our daily practice – punctuality, safety and full support in every aspect of transportation.

Temporary border controls from July 7, 2025 – what does this mean for TSL companies?

As of July 7, 2025. Poland is introducing temporary border controls with Germany and Lithuania. While the decision is motivated by security concerns, its impact will be felt almost immediately by transportation companies, logistics operators and TSL (transportation-shipping-logistics) customers. Find out what will change and how you can prepare for it.

What changes from July 7, 2025?

According to government announcements, starting July 7, 2025. Temporary border controls will be in place on the borders with Germany and Lithuania. In practice, this means:

• obligation to stop for inspection at selected border crossings,
• Increased clearance times, and thus potential traffic congestion,
• The need for complete shipping and freight documentation.

Although the controls are intended to be temporary, their impact on international supply chains could be significant – particularly in industries relying on just-in-time delivery, the FMCG sector and contract logistics.

Challenges for the transport and logistics industry

The introduction of border administrative barriers means a number of complications for TSL companies:

Delays and downtime

• Longer waiting times at border crossings,
• Operational downtime affecting the smoothness of transportation processes.

Need to re-plan routes and schedules

• Adaptation of loading and unloading schedules,
• Adjust travel routes to minimize the risk of downtime.

Increase in operating costs

• More working hours for drivers,
• Greater fuel consumption,
• The need to reorganize returns and return operations.

In this situation, constant monitoring of the situation and operational flexibility to respond to changes in real time are key.

How does XL LOGISTICS respond?

At XL LOGISTICS, we have been preparing for crisis scenarios for years – which is why we are already implementing concrete measures that minimize the impact of border controls on our customers.

Monitoring the situation 24/7

Our dispatchers and drivers are in constant contact and have access to up-to-date operational information from border crossings.

Flexible planning and rapid adaptation

With an extensive fleet and a wide network of alternate routes, we can change plans instantly without risking on-time performance.

Personal account manager

Each of our partners is assigned a mentor to ensure smooth cooperation and rapid flow of information.

Emergency response

Our customers can count on real support in case of emergency problems – we leave no one without help.

What do XL LOGISTICS customers gain?

Cooperation with us is not just transportation. It’s a partnership based on experience, transparency and proactivity:

• Up-to-date operational information from borders and routes,
• transparent operation at every stage of the order,
• Minimizing the risk of delays,
• stability in a dynamic geopolitical environment.

Summary

Temporary border controls from July 7, 2025 are another test for the TSL industry. For many companies, this could mean downtime, loss of contracts or operational chaos. But for those who have a strong logistics partner – this is just another challenge that can be passed safely and without loss to business.

At XL LOGISTICS, we are ready. We monitor. We respond. We act in advance.
