What applies to the payment of tolls in commercial road haulage?

In German commercial road haulage, both the driver and the vehicle owner can be held responsible if the toll is not paid. This means that toll obligations are enforced strictly to ensure compliance, and responsibility is shared to prevent evasion. The idea is to make sure tolls are always paid, regardless of who is driving or owns the vehicle. The statement that no toll must be paid for empty runs is incorrect, as tolls usually apply to all commercial trips, including empty runs, unless specific exemptions apply, which are not generally the case here. Understanding that both driver and owner have potential liability helps ensure proper toll payment and adherence to road transport regulations in Germany.
