Forwarder's tools
Work out trailer space and plan the delivery date
Two tools our forwarders use for every quote. You can move the result to your request with one click.
LTL calculator
How much space will your load take?
Enter your pallets and we will show how they fit on a 13.6 m trailer and how many loading metres (LDM) they take. That decides whether you pay for a part load or whether a full truck makes more sense.
Your load on the trailer
- Loading metres
- Trailer used
- Floor positions
- Total weight
1 LDM is 1 metre of trailer length at 2.4 m width. A EUR pallet takes 0.4 LDM. We stack pallets up to a combined height of 265 cm. For heavy loads the carrier may price by weight instead.
Delivery planner
When will the goods arrive?
Choose the route and the loading day. The planner takes into account weekend and holiday driving bans in every country on the way and seasonal restrictions in Romania.
The same transport loaded on the next working days. Click a day to see the plan.
Journey plan
The planner is indicative. It assumes a single driver covering about 600 km a day with breaks under Regulation (EC) 561/2006, and the driving bans for vehicles over 7.5 t (12 t in Poland). We confirm the exact date in the quote.

Which way we drive
Three corridors; the choice depends on the delivery address
Via Budapest and Nădlac
Katowice → Žilina → Budapest → M43 → Nădlac → A1 Arad → Deva → Sibiu
The most motorway on the Romanian side. Best for Arad, Timișoara, Sibiu and on to Pitești and Bucharest.
Via Košice and Borș
Warsaw → Rzeszów → Barwinek → Košice → Debrecen → Borș → Oradea → Cluj
The shortest way from central and eastern Poland to Cluj, Brașov and Romanian Moldavia (Iași, Suceava).
Via Czechia
Wrocław / Poznań → Brno → Bratislava → Budapest → Nădlac
For collections in western Poland. Almost entirely on motorways and predictable when Silesia is congested.
Regions
Four hubs, all of Romania
We cover the whole country, but most loads from Poland go to four regions. Cities beyond the Carpathians take longer to reach than the distance suggests, because much of the route is on national roads.
Bucharest and Ilfov
The country's largest market. Distribution centres and e-commerce warehouses along the ring road and the A1 motorway.
See the route →~930 km from WarsawCluj-Napoca
The centre of Transylvania: IT, electronics, retail. A good base for deliveries to Oradea and Brașov.
See the route →~760 km from KatowiceTimișoara and Arad
The first stop after the border. Industrial parks and automotive suppliers.
See the route →Bucharest + 225 kmConstanța
Romania's largest port on the Black Sea. Loads for the terminals and for onward shipping.

As of October 2026
What has changed on the route to Romania
The rules on this corridor change every few months. We track them for you and build them into the plan and the price.
TollRO replaces the rovinieta for trucks
Vehicles over 3.5 t now pay for every kilometre driven on Romanian motorways, expressways and national roads. For a 40 t Euro VI combination that is 0.48 lei/km on the motorway and 0.24 lei/km on a national road. The toll is included in our price.
No permanent checks when entering Romania
Romania is a full Schengen member, land borders included. At the Nădlac and Borș crossings trucks no longer queue for border checks. Random roadside checks can still happen.
Daytime closure for trucks on Valea Oltului
On the Călimănești - Câineni section, vehicles over 7.5 t may not drive Monday to Saturday between 8:00 and 17:30. This is the main road from Sibiu to Pitești and Bucharest, so we plan the passage for the evening or detour via Brașov.
Higher road tolls along the way
- Hungary: HU-GO increases in January and March 2026, and truck transit directed onto motorways.
- Poland: new e-TOLL rates and a longer tolled network from February 2026.
| Country on the route | Applies to | All year | Summer (July-August) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Poland | over 12 t | public holidays 8:00-22:00, day before a holiday 18:00-22:00 | Fri 18-22 · Sat 8-14 · Sun 8-22 |
