Unlike broad-based business federations, the BGL (Bundesverband Güterkraftverkehr Logistik und Entsorgung) represents exclusively commercial road freight, logistics, and waste transport companies in Germany. As the sector's principal trade association, it advocates before federal and European legislators on matters such as road toll policy, driving and rest time rules, driver qualification, and emissions regulation. For hauliers and fleet operators, the BGL serves as a key source of legal guidance, tariff information, and industry data. Membership is generally open to companies holding a road freight operator licence in Germany.
