We want to send a trailer to Europe unaccompanied, I remember you need to apply to DVSA? to get a registration for it. Has anyone got any more information / details on how to do it?

Just follow the steps

Thanks, hoped it was that simple

It’s very simple to do will take you 5 mins, it will take you longer to find someone to make a reg plate with an extra digit in it

It’s not easier just to load it in to a European truck looking for a back load home? Saves all the hassles of damaged drop trailers on the docks, trailers going missing etc

That’s what we’ve done for years. But new customs regs they’re being held up left right and centre at the moment. One load sat on the docks 3 weeks so far.

Are there any less delays for shipping unaccompanied?

no but no driver sat there waiting. Most hauliers won’t drop trailer and leave it. Believe me, not a decision we’ve taken lightly

fair enough, it’s very easy to do just fill in form and send off,
Or rent a trailer that’s all ready registered to keep your own trailers available on pool not at the docks


It is really simple to do through the link. We had loads of damage sending our trailer out unaccompanied though, so only send them accompanied now

Which port? It does make a difference 🙂
