What moves Dortmund, we deliver.

From production to back office: our couriers drive where Dortmund's economy works – with an instant price before booking, live tracking on the map, and a digital proof of delivery for every run.

  • Insurance & tech around the Technologiepark

    Dortmund has made the leap from coal and steel to services and technology – the Technologiepark next to TU Dortmund ranks among Germany's largest. Around Signal Iduna, Wilo and hundreds of tech companies, contracts, prototypes and server components move every day. When a replacement server or a signature-ready file gets stuck, an entire project stalls – Maxmove drives it door to door, direct and without reloading. You see the instant price before you book.

  • Logistics & canal port in Dortmund's north

    Dortmund's port is the largest canal port in Europe, and the former Westfalenhütte has become one of the Ruhrgebiet's major contiguous logistics areas. Containers, pallets and mixed freight change hands here around the clock – when a partial delivery is missing or shipping papers sit at the wrong gate, the loading dock stands still. Maxmove collects pallets, samples and documents right at your warehouse and drives them to the destination without a single stop. Live tracking on the map shows you where the shipment is at any moment.

  • Events & sport between Signal Iduna Park and the Westfalenhallen

    Signal Iduna Park is Germany's largest football stadium, and the Westfalenhallen have been one of the country's established trade fair venues for decades. On matchdays and during build-up weeks the city runs at full tilt – catering stock, booth components and event tech have to move through closed-off zones in tight windows. Maxmove assigns one vehicle exclusively to your job and delivers to the agreed point, such as a specific hall or loading gate. The digital proof of delivery with photo, signature and timestamp documents the handover.

On the ground in Dortmund: local knowledge that saves delivery time.

Bridges, roadworks, trade-fair weeks: knowing Dortmund means planning pickup and route realistically. That local knowledge goes into every Maxmove quote – from the pickup window to the drop-off.

Check route and price

Traffic in Dortmund: the B1, the A45 and the north

The B1, the extension of the A40, is Dortmund's notorious congestion corridor, joined by the A45 heading south and the Kreuz Dortmund/Unna on the A2 as daily bottlenecks. Around the port in the north, heavy truck traffic adds another layer. Whether it's a pickup at the Westfalenhütte in rush hour or a delivery to Hörde via the B1 – the route decides the driving time. You see the available pickup window before you book, and live tracking shows the arrival on the map.

BVB matchdays and trade fairs: delivering when the city is full

On BVB home matchdays the roads around Signal Iduna Park are closed over a wide area, while Westfalenhallen fairs run deliveries and build-up on fixed slots. Maxmove drivers plan around closures and deliver to the exact point you specify when booking – a particular gate or hall, for instance. Slot times and contact person go straight into the notes field.

Connections: Dortmund as the eastern gateway to the Ruhrgebiet

Via the A40/B1, A45 and A2, Dortmund connects directly to Bochum, Essen, Hamm and Unna – the neighboring cities are often just a short drive away. That density makes same-day transport across the Ruhrgebiet genuinely plannable: production sites, warehouses and customers sit close together. Maxmove runs every route as a direct drive, with no reloading and no consolidated rounds.

Courier service Dortmund: questions from the field.

Concrete answers for runs in Dortmund – from trade fairs and plant gates to matchdays and the city centre.

Does Maxmove deliver around Signal Iduna Park on BVB matchdays?

Yes. On home matchdays the streets around Germany's largest football stadium are closed over a wide area – anyone bringing catering, tech or merchandise restocks needs a driver who knows the detours. Maxmove runs your job as a direct drive and hands over at the agreed point, such as a specific gate. You add access details and a contact person in the notes field when booking; live tracking shows the arrival in real time.

Can Maxmove rush forgotten booth material to the Westfalenhallen?

Yes – this is exactly what direct drives are made for. The Westfalenhallen run deliveries and build-up on fixed slots; if a roll-up banner, an exhibit or your booth furniture is missing, the clock works against you. Maxmove assigns one vehicle exclusively to your job, collects at your warehouse or office and delivers straight to your hall. You see the instant price before booking, and the digital proof of delivery with photo and signature afterwards in your account.

Does Maxmove run urgent spare parts for machine builders in Dortmund?

Yes. Around Dortmund's industrial sites, maintenance is daily business – when a stamping die breaks or a control unit fails, line stoppages loom that cost more per hour than any transport. Maxmove collects the part directly from your supplier or warehouse and drives it to the plant entrance without reloading. Hall, gate and contact person go into the notes field when you book.

Does Maxmove pick up samples or documents directly at the Dortmund port?

Yes. Dortmund's port is the largest canal port in Europe – if freight documents, customs papers or samples aren't at the terminal on time, the whole chain waits. Maxmove collects directly at the terminal or warehouse and drives to the recipient without a stopover. The digital proof of delivery with photo, signature and timestamp documents every handover.

Does Maxmove transport prototypes from the Technologiepark Dortmund to partners?

Yes. The Technologiepark next to TU Dortmund produces prototypes and small series that often exist exactly once – reloading or consolidated shipping is not an option here. Maxmove moves sensitive shipments as a direct drive: one vehicle, one job, no reloading. You follow the trip live on the map and receive the proof of delivery with the recipient's signature.
