Schedule: three service days per week in both directions
Cologne → Stuttgart Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Planned departure from Cologne at around 08:00. Stuttgart → Cologne Return service on the same days. Planned departure from Stuttgart at approximately 14:00–15:00. Times are planning windows. Existing bookings, traffic and operational conditions can affect the actual schedule. A shipment is accepted only when its pickup and delivery window is compatible with the route plan.
Cities and regions along the Cologne ↔ Stuttgart corridor
The scheduled service is not limited to shipments between Cologne and Stuttgart. Pickup and delivery requests on compatible route segments along the actual corridor can also be checked. The route runs through or close to areas including Cologne, Koblenz, Wiesbaden, Frankfurt am Main, Darmstadt, Worms, Mannheim, Heilbronn and Stuttgart. Locations between these cities or reasonably close to the route may also be considered if they remain within the detour and timing limits defined by the trip provider. These cities are not guaranteed fixed stops. Acceptance always depends on the actual trip, available capacity on the relevant route segment, pickup and delivery windows, additional time and the maximum permitted deviation from the planned route.

Your location does not have to be a pre-planned stop
A key feature of this service is that pickup and delivery points do not have to be pre-planned stops. If a request lies sensibly along the corridor, iTranspo can check whether a new stop can be inserted into the scheduled trip. The check respects the limits defined by the executing transport company: maximum permitted detour, additional time, existing stops and the remaining capacity on the route segments actually affected. The shipment can be considered for the trip only when these conditions are compatible. This keeps the route predictable while still allowing additional locations along the corridor to be served.
1. Pickup and delivery points
The system checks whether the points lie on or sufficiently close to the planned corridor.
2. Permitted detour
An additional stop must remain within the maximum deviation defined by the trip provider.
3. Timing feasibility
Additional driving and stop time must not push the planned schedule or agreed delivery windows beyond permitted limits.
4. Capacity by route segment
The shipment occupies capacity only between its pickup and delivery points, so capacity released later can be reused on subsequent route segments.
How the system checks whether your shipment fits the trip
The decision is based not only on distance, but also on route, time and capacity.
Why a scheduled corridor can be useful
Predictable service days combined with flexible use of available capacity.
Predictable service days
Monday, Wednesday and Friday create a recurring rhythm for regular and short-notice shipments.
Book route segments

More than pallets
Boxes, parcels, documents and other suitable business shipments can use available capacity.
Flexible new stops
The system can evaluate new stops without every possible location having to be pre-listed in the timetable.
