MKD (medzinárodná kamiónová doprava)

International Freight Transport

What does “MKD (medzinárodná kamiónová doprava)” mean in Slovakia?

MKD (medzinárodná kamiónová doprava) — international truck transport: driving trucks between EU countries, often spending weeks on the road.

To work in MKD, you need a C+E driver's license, a driver qualification card (KKV, "code 95"), and a tachograph card. Your salary is made up of a base rate and diéty (daily allowances for food when traveling for work), so the amount you receive "in hand" is noticeably higher than the base rate.

Important. When looking at the MKD job offer, count the full income: rate + daily allowances for each day traveling, not just the basic salary.
