The Reichskraftwagentarif (RKT) was the name of a tariff set up on June 26, 1935 in agreement with the Deutsche Reichsbahn for transport in long-distance commercial goods transport by motor vehicle. The law contained the rates of freight, tariffs and conditions of carriage .

It was stipulated that goods transport over 50 kilometers may only be carried out with a license . In addition, the level of tariffs was set so that they were not cheaper than the railroad. These rules were strictly controlled by the police and the Federal Office for Goods Transport (BAG) (renamed 1994).

The Reichskraftwagentarif was once again declared binding when the Goods Transport Act (GüKG) came into force on November 19, 1952. In 1990 it was replaced by the long-distance freight transport tariff (GFT).
