Federlogistica-Conftrasporto invites all its members and operators in the logistics sector to accept and apply the rule on waiting times for heavy vehicles in full recognizing their mandatory nature, to review contracts transport to adapt them to the new regulatory parameters and to reduce and effectively optimize loading and unloading times in your Factories and operational hubs.

The national president of Federlogistica, Davide Falteri, explained that the amendments introduced by Law No. 105 of 18 July 2025 of conversion into law of Decree-Law No. 73 of 21 May 2025 "represent an essential protection for the regularity, occupational safety and sustainability of road haulage companies. Too often - he has Falteri noted - the carriers were forced to accept extreme operating conditions and waiting times incompatible with a efficient and competitive system. The law finally imposes a principle of fairness and responsibility throughout the supply chain".

Federlogistica recalled that Law 105/2025 amends Article 6-bis of Legislative Decree 286/2005 as regards concerns the regulation of waiting and loading/unloading times and that Paragraph 1 regulates the deductible relating to waiting times before loading or unloading begins. The period starts from the moment of arrival of the vehicle and ends with the start of operations. If the wait exceeds 90 minutes, the carrier is imperatively entitled to compensation of €100/hour or fraction, to be attributed to the person responsible for the delay. The paragraph 3, on the other hand, regulates compensation for exceeding the time of material execution of the loading/unloading operations indicated in the written contract of carriage signed between the parties. Also in this case, the carrier has a mandatory right to compensation of 100 €/hour or fraction.
