Estonia is the northernmost of the three Baltic states – a compact, highly digitalised market with a focus on electronics and high-tech manufacturing, the timber industry and logistics around the port of Tallinn. Speed Logistics runs the Germany–Estonia route as a direct run via Poland and the Via Baltica: around 1,600 kilometres, transit time 2–3 working days, delivery in Tallinn, Tartu, Pärnu or Narva.
As intra-EU traffic, the transport runs without customs formalities. You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours, and a dedicated contact in our dispatch team accompanies the shipment around the clock through to the proof of delivery.

- Direct run without transhipment – part loads and full truckloads from the Sprinter van (3.5 t) to the 40-t articulated truck
- Express freight to Tallinn – with two alternating drivers from around 48 hours
- Premium handling – for electronics, telecommunications and measuring technology from Estonian high-tech manufacturing
- Temperature-controlled vehicles – for pharma and food shipments with a documented cold chain
Route: via Poland and the Via Baltica to the Baltics
The main leg runs via Poland and the Via Baltica through Lithuania and Latvia to Estonia – entirely through EU territory, without transit through Russia or Belarus. The route is well developed and can be planned year-round; in winter we factor in weather reserves in the Baltics. For urgent part shipments, we alternatively examine the ferry connections across the Baltic Sea, for example from Travemünde towards Liepāja with onward travel to the north – particularly useful for collections in northern Germany.
Process: from quote to delivery in Estonia
You give us the pick-up location, dimensions, weight and deadline; within a few hours your fixed price is ready. We collect the goods anywhere in Germany and drive directly to the consignee – without transhipment via groupage hubs. A delivery note and CMR consignment note are sufficient. En route you receive status updates; delivery is signed off with a proof of delivery.
Typical shipments on the Estonia route
Freight to Estonia consists above all of electronic components and manufacturing material for the high-tech companies in the Tallinn area, machines and spare parts for the timber and furniture industry, as well as trade goods for the Baltic market. In the opposite direction we handle electronic assemblies, timber products and furniture from Estonian production. Many customers combine Estonia with deliveries in Latvia or Lithuania – on the Via Baltica, multi-stop tours through the entire Baltics can be bundled economically. For recurring needs we set up fixed weekly services with plannable departure days; urgent single shipments run as a Sprinter direct run to Tallinn in around two days. We deliver trade-fair goods for events in Tallinn on schedule and collect them again after the fair closes.
Equipment and special features of the Estonia route
Estonia's electronics and high-tech companies – many of them suppliers to Scandinavian corporations – expect shock-protected transport and reliable time windows: for this, air-suspended vehicles with adapted load securing are used. For the timber and furniture industry around Tartu and Pärnu we dispatch full truckloads with curtainsider vehicles, and for machines, if required, vehicles with a tail lift or a truck-mounted forklift. Return loads from Estonia – such as electronic components or timber products – we take along on the same axis, thus optimising your freight costs. We quote prices in advance as non-binding guide values depending on the route and lead time; binding is your fixed-price quote.
