Speed Logistics runs direct transport between Germany and Latvia – we reach Riga in 2 to 3 working days, as well as Liepāja and Daugavpils. The main leg runs via Poland and Lithuania along the Via Baltica, entirely within the EU: no customs formalities, no border waiting times, plannable transit times.
From the sprinter van for urgent spare parts to the 40 t articulated truck for full loads, we dispatch the right vehicle. You receive your fixed-price quote within a few hours, and our dispatch team accompanies the shipment around the clock with GPS tracking.

Route and transit time: to the Baltics via the Via Baltica
The roughly 1,500-kilometre route runs via Poland and Lithuania to Latvia – predominantly on the well-developed Via Baltica. As a direct run we calculate 2 to 3 working days from pickup; express shipments with a two-driver crew reach Riga in around 48 hours. As the entire route lies within the EU single market, customs stops are eliminated entirely – the transit time stays reliable even with short-notice dispatch.
Industries: timber, port logistics, pharma
Latvia's economy is strongly shaped by the timber industry and ports: we run machinery and spare parts for sawmills and timber processing, dispatch long material and sawn timber in the opposite direction and serve the port locations of Riga and Liepāja with on-schedule inbound and outbound flows. For the pharmaceutical industry around Riga we handle temperature-controlled, GDP-compliant shipments, and for trade and industry classic procurement and distribution traffic in both directions.
Vehicles and equipment for Baltic traffic
We dispatch from the sprinter van, through 7.5 and 12-tonne trucks, to the articulated truck with 13.6 loading metres – as a curtainsider, box body or reefer with documented temperature control. For long material and machine parts, suitable trailers with appropriate load securing are used, and unloading points without a ramp we serve with a tail lift. High-value electronics travels air-sprung, insured and tracked by GPS.
Round trips in the Baltics
Latvia we combine on request with destinations in Lithuania and Estonia into a round trip – one tour, several stops, one point of contact. This is worthwhile for companies that serve several Baltic customers or suppliers and reduces the cost per delivery considerably. Return loads from Latvia we dispatch directly after the delivery – without empty kilometres. Fixed departure days give recurring Baltic traffic stable rates and reliable transit times; short-notice shipments we check around the clock against available capacity.
Process: to Latvia in four steps
1) Enquiry with pickup location, dimensions, weight and preferred date. 2) Fixed-price quote within a few hours. 3) Pickup at the agreed time window and direct run via the Via Baltica. 4) Delivery with proof of delivery – on request with a tail lift, notification or a fixed unloading window. For regular Baltic traffic we set up fixed departure days with stable rates and a fixed point of contact.
