Truck driver jobs in Germany (CE licence)

Companies in Germany are currently looking for professional drivers with a category CE licence, especially in long-haul transport and haulage. Do you drive trucks and want to work in Germany? Then register with us. Registration is free of charge for you.

What belongs in your profile

  • Licence categories with issuing country and validity
  • Driver qualification card or code 95
  • Driver card for the digital tachograph
  • Years in the job and vehicle types, such as articulated or drawbar trucks

Are you an EU citizen with an EU driving licence and code 95? Then the route is shorter: you do not need a visa, and your licence and code 95 are usually valid in Germany as well.

Was your licence issued outside the EU? We check with you which route applies to your licence.
