Girteka's major investments

However, for example, there is a persistent oversupply of trucks from Germany to all countries, although according to Timocom, the number of freight offers in July 2025 was 40% higher than a year earlier. The situation is similar in the Netherlands, where there are 21% more freight offers, but an oversupply of trucks persists.
