New TruKKer road corridor links the Gulf with Europe

Moving cargo is just about reaching a destination, but also about having the right route to get there. Road freight offers flexibility and direct connectivity that can be important for businesses moving goods across borders. TruKKer is now looking to strengthen this option with a new road corridor connecting the Gulf with Europe.
Amid new routes emerging and the Middle East exploring alternative ways of moving cargo, TruKKer has launched road freight corridors linking the GCC and Jordan with Türkiye, Europe and Central Asia, offering an alternative route for cargo moving into and out of the Gulf. The service provides door-to-door transit of six to nine days between Türkiye and the UAE, while Europe-UAE movements take 18 to 24 days. The service operates on demand and in both directions.
Gaurav Biswas, Founder and CEO, TruKKer, said: “The Gulf's supply chains have spent six months working around a constrained sea route. This corridor gives importers and exporters a door-to-door overland alternative between Europe, Türkiye, Central Asia and the GCC, with a transit time that can be planned against and with the terms stated in full before a load is booked."
The corridors cover the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Jordan, with European and Central Asian cargo joining the network through Türkiye. Cargo moves through Türkiye, Syria and Jordan into Saudi Arabia before onward delivery across the GCC.
The service could give shippers another option as sea routes into the Gulf face longer and less predictable transit times. Road transport can help businesses move time-sensitive cargo without relying on port handling and waiting times, while providing a direct link between production and delivery points. The corridor also avoids port dwell in the chain.
The route also provides a link for cargo moving between Europe, Central Asia and the Gulf without requiring the full journey to depend on sea transport. For businesses managing supply chains across several markets, having another route can provide greater choice when planning shipments.
Cargo will move under coordinated TIR and customs transit procedures, with transshipment in Türkiye where required. TruKKer said shippers will receive status updates at each border crossing, while transit times will be reconfirmed before any commitment. The service is managed by TruKKer's Cross Border Division in Türkiye.
