This service is aimed at freight forwarders, logistics managers, transport procurement teams, logistics operators, importers, exporters and manufacturing companies comparing carriers on route coverage, availability, communication, documentation, cargo security and operational reliability.

Our base is in Suwałki, positioned on the natural transport corridor from Poland through Lithuania to Latvia and Estonia. This location supports the organisation of FTL shipments between the Baltic countries and Germany — both for exports from the Baltics to Germany and for return flows from Germany to Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia.

We operate full truckload services on the following routes

FTL Transport Estonia – Germany

We carry out FTL shipments between Estonia and Germany, including full truck loads. On Estonia–Germany routes, careful planning of the route, transit time, documentation and communication with the receiver is particularly important, so we clarify all operational requirements before confirming the booking.

We also handle transport from Germany to Estonia — both as individual shipments and as part of an ongoing cooperation.

Base in Suwałki and the Baltics ↔ Germany corridor

Gab-Trans operates from Suwałki — a location close to the corridor running from Poland through Lithuania and on to Latvia and Estonia. For companies organising transport between the Baltic countries and Germany, this is a meaningful operational advantage: Baltics ↔ Germany freight naturally transits through Poland, and our north-eastern base position supports this lane.

This makes Gab-Trans a relevant carrier option for loads moving between Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Germany — both for outbound freight from the Baltics to Germany and for inbound or return flows from Germany to the Baltic countries.
