Haulage
Can anyone tell me the difference please between a dopravce and a prepravce? It is in a form for a truck driver and so there is little context, but they are supposed to put how many people help with unloading, time taken, truck departure time, etc and then one column each for dopravce and prepravce. From what I can determine they are exactly the same thing - a haulier/carrier, but perhaps there is a clear distinction.Many thanks, Charlie

carrier/haulier
Czech Wikipedia: Přepravce je objednavatel přepravy v nákladní dopravě, tedy ten, kdo si nechá za úplatu přepravovat věc či náklad dopravcem.
translated: Přepravce (presumambly a forwarder) is the orderer of transportation in terms of freight (trucking), i.e. that person that has its goods/cargo transported by the actual carrier/haulier (dopravce)
Dopravce (carrier/haulier/shipper) is actually the transport operater (contractor in legal sense), whereas the Přepravce is the order party.

haulage contractor
I belive this term is more widely used in the UK than haulier.
