Definition & Explanation
Swiss truckers (Routiers Suisse) are commercial drivers who operate transport contracts for third parties within Switzerland and across borders. Unlike in-house drivers (own account transport), they operate as independent freight forwarders or carriers and are subject to licensing requirements. Swiss transport policy—particularly the LSVA (Performance-related Heavy Vehicle Tax)—significantly affects their cost structure.
