When you need road freight transport, one of the first solutions is the Transport Exchange — the digital platform where carriers and customers meet.

But did you know that there are important differences between the way the Romanian stock exchanges work and those in the rest of Europe?

📌 The goal is the same: matching the demand with the offer.

However, differences arise in the level of transparency, rules and safety.
