Freight Transport from Estonia to Lithuania
Lithuania is Estonia's closest large market after Latvia. 4Logistics runs daily transport from Tallinn to Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipeda and Siauliai. Typical transit is 1 day FTL and 2-3 days LTL — often same-day departure.
The route is intra-EU within Schengen — duty-free and fast. The main corridor Tallinn → Riga → Kaunas runs the length of the Baltics via Via Baltica.
Route and transit
Tallinn → Parnu → Riga → Siauliai → Kaunas → Vilnius (~700 km, 8-9h driving). Klaipeda on the coast is closer to the direct corridor (~600 km). FTL single driver same day, double crew 12-14 hours. LTL groupage 2-3 days.
Main destinations
Vilnius (capital, finance and IT centre), Kaunas (industry, logistics hub on the Estonia-Poland corridor), Klaipeda (Lithuania's only port — Baltic sea freight), Siauliai (industry, aviation), Panevezys (manufacturing). Every address door-to-door.
Cargo types accepted
General cargo in tent trailers (the bulk of volume), reefer for food and dairy, ADR for chemicals, oversize. LTL for any pallet count from one pallet up. Daily departures.
Customs
Lithuania is part of the EU and Schengen — no customs. Only a CMR is required. For transit to Belarus via Lithuania we open a T1 declaration for the Medininkai or Salcininkai border crossing.
Pricing factors
Short distance keeps FTL cheap: typical Tallinn-Vilnius €550-800. LTL one pallet: €90-140. Estonia and Latvia have no road tolls, Lithuania has minimal.
