German term or phrase: Kleintransportgewerbe
Hello my dear translators!

I would need a possible translation of these terms in English or Croatian/Serbian/Bosnian.
I have a text about collective agreements in Austria (Kollektivvertrag für das Güterbeförderungsgewerbe and Kollektivvertrag für das Kleintransportgewerbe) that I need to translate in Croatian, but a translation in English would be also very helpful. Does anyone have a possible translation? It's difficult to translate something that doesn't exist in your target language (in my case English or Croatian).

Thanks!
Tamara
