Order of a railway freight wagon

The first step in the transportation of a wagon consignment is the order of a railway freight wagon where the so-called "loading request" is used. The loading request is a form for ordering wagons provided by the carrier for future loading. It is used for the provision of the necessary transport capacity according to the requirements of the customer. The form of the "loading request" is available on these web pages as an xls or pdf file. This form can be provided to the customers also at the workplaces of the wagon managing clerks (according to the local conditions), it can be sent by e-mail or the customer can use the portal of ČD Cargo.

With effect from 1.1. 2020 for shipments to Switzerland and transit through Switzerland and valid from 13.12. 2020 for transport to Germany and transit through Germany, trucks must have so-called silent brake blocks. In these cases, the customer fills in the loading application in column 32 Silent car mode YES - code 1.

 

Sending the loading request by e-mail

The filled-in form of the loading request can be sent electronically by e-mail to the particular workplace according to the loading place where this workplace ensures its processing. Contact information on these workplaces.
