Road freight across South-West France,
handled end to end.

Based in Bon-Encontre, near Agen, Cavallin Transports plans and runs your freight flows on the Bordeaux–Perpignan corridor and across the whole South-West of France. Curtainside trailers and rigid trucks, groupage, chartering, dangerous goods, out-of-gauge loads: our operations adapt to your cargo, not the other way round.

A fleet of curtainsiders and rigid trucks, operated in-house

We assign the right vehicle to each delivery: the curtainside trailer for full loads and long items, the rigid truck for city centres and sites a semi-trailer can't reach. Employed drivers, equipment maintained on site.

A carrier that knows its ground

Sixty years ago, Cavallin Transports started running trucks between Bon-Encontre and the rest of South-West France. The job has changed — ADR rules, traceability, environmental requirements — but the starting logic hasn't: freight picked up in the morning has to arrive on time. Now part of DTS Group, the company still runs its own operations and client relationships from Bon-Encontre.
