ROAD FREIGHT SOLUTIONS

Road Freight Europe -
From Estonia to Every Destination

We’ve been moving freight by road across Europe since 2008 – out of our Tallinn office hub, right in the heart of the Baltics. Full trucks, part loads, refrigerated cargo, dangerous goods, oversized machinery – we handle all of it as a single service, with one contact and real-time visibility on every shipment.

Heavy machinery is where we’ve built our name. Moving a CNC press or an industrial generator across three EU countries isn’t a standard booking – it needs the right trailer, the right permits and someone who knows the route. That’s what we do. Whether it’s a full truck from Tallinn to Madrid, a shared load to Paris, or a low-loader for out-of-gauge equipment anywhere in Europe, you get a clear, itemised quote with no surprises. Need to go further? Our ocean freight and air freight teams pick up where the road ends.

How it works

European Road Freight - Door to Door Across Borders

Cross-border road freight in Europe involves more than loading a truck. CMR documentation, ADR compliance, customs formalities at non-Schengen borders and permit requirements for oversized loads all need to be managed correctly. GreenLine Global handles every stage - so your cargo moves without delays at border crossings or handover points.

01

Quote, route planning & vehicle selection

We assess your shipment - weight, dimensions, cargo type, ADR class if applicable - and select the right vehicle and service level. For oversized or heavy loads we carry out a route survey and arrange special permits before confirming the booking. You receive a full itemised quote with no hidden charges.

02

Pickup, loading & documentation

We collect from your warehouse, factory or site and load the cargo correctly - securing, lashing and crating where required. Our team prepares all CMR road consignment notes, ADR transport documents for dangerous goods, and any export or customs clearance documentation needed at the border of departure.

03

Cross-border transit & real-time tracking

Your shipment moves across EU borders under CMR convention. We track every truck in real time and alert you immediately to any delays. For non-Schengen crossings - such as routes via the UK or non-EU countries - we manage all customs formalities at the border to keep transit moving without holds.

04

Delivery & proof of delivery

We deliver to the consignee's address, unloading dock or site and obtain a signed proof of delivery (POD). One point of contact, four steps, no gaps between carriers - that is what door-to-door European road freight looks like with GreenLine Global.

Our European road freight services

European Road Freight Services - The Right Load for Every Route

Not every shipment fills a full truck. GreenLine Global offers four road freight service types across our European network - matched to your cargo volume, temperature requirements and special handling needs. As a specialized trucking services provider operating from Estonia, we select the right vehicle type - curtainsider, box truck, flatbed, low-loader or frigo trailer - for every load.

FTL - Full Truckload

Curtainsider - Box truck - Flatbed

Your cargo fills the entire vehicle - no sharing, no consolidation stops. FTL is the fastest and most secure road freight option for full loads across Europe. We operate standard curtainsiders and mega trailers (up to 120 m³ / 24,000 kg), box trucks and flatbeds depending on your cargo type and route requirements.

LTL - Groupage

Part load - Pallet freight - Cost-effective

Less than truckload groupage consolidates your shipment with compatible cargo from other shippers. You pay only for the space you use - pallets, euro pallets or cubic metres. LTL road freight across Europe is ideal for regular part-load consignments that do not justify a dedicated truck. We run regular groupage lanes on key Baltic and Central European corridors.

Temperature-Controlled Frigo

Chilled - Frozen - Pharma - Perishables

Temperature-controlled road freight using refrigerated frigo trailers maintains continuous cold chain from collection to delivery. We handle chilled (+2 to +8°C), frozen (-18°C and below) and pharmaceutical-grade temperature-controlled transport across Europe. Pre-trip temperature checks and continuous monitoring are standard on every frigo booking.

Oversized & Special Transport

Low-loader - Flatbed - Abnormal load - Escort

For cargo that exceeds standard trailer dimensions - industrial machinery, construction equipment, structural steel, energy sector components - we arrange low-loaders, extendable flatbeds and multi-axle configurations. We manage all special permits, route approvals and escort requirements across every EU member state on your route. Learn more about heavy machinery transport

What we move

Cargo Types & Road Freight Specializations

Our European road freight team handles cargo that demands more than a standard booking - from heavy equipment requiring multi-axle low-loaders to ADR dangerous goods requiring compliant vehicles and certified drivers. We apply the right expertise, the right vehicle and the right documentation to every shipment - from oversized cargo transport requiring multi-axle low-loaders to ADR consignments requiring certified vehicles.

Heavy Machinery & Industrial Equipment

CNC machines, presses, generators, compressors, printing machinery and production line equipment. We coordinate proper securing, lashing and crating on flatbed or low-loader and manage all oversized permits for cross-border heavy equipment transport across Europe. Learn more

Oversized & Project Cargo

Wind turbine components, structural steel, oil and gas equipment, cranes and construction modules that exceed standard vehicle dimensions. We carry out route surveys, obtain abnormal load permits and arrange police escorts where required across all EU member states. Learn more

General & Box Cargo

Palletised goods, consumer products, electronics, textiles, automotive parts and retail merchandise. We pick the right vehicle - curtainsider, box truck or mega trailer - to protect your cargo throughout the European transit, whether FTL or LTL groupage.

Perishables & Temperature-Sensitive

Fresh produce, frozen food, dairy, meat, cut flowers, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. We keep the cold chain unbroken from collection to delivery using ATP-certified frigo trailers with continuous temperature logging.

ADR Dangerous Goods

Chemicals, flammable liquids, gases and batteries classified under the ADR Agreement for road transport. Our drivers hold current ADR certificates and our vehicles carry the required safety equipment, placards and documentation for every class we handle.

FAQS

Road Freight Questions

FTL means your cargo fills the entire truck – no sharing, no consolidation stops, fastest transit. LTL groupage combines your load with others so you pay only for the space you useideal for part loads. We handle both and advise the right option for your volume and route.

Yes. Our drivers and vehicles are fully ADR-certified for the carriage of dangerous goods by road across Europe. We handle all mandatory documentation – ADR transport documents, safety data sheets and placards. Send us your UN number and we’ll confirm feasibility and routing.

Baltic routes (Estonia to Germany or Poland) typically take 1–3 days. Mid-Europe (Netherlands, Sweden) 2–4 days. Longer hauls to Spain or France 4–6 days. FTL is always faster than groupage – no consolidation stops. We provide confirmed transit estimates at the time of quotation.

Yes – it’s one of our core specializations. We arrange low-loaders, flatbed trailers and multi-axle configurations for out-of-gauge loads and manage all special permits, route surveys and escort requirements across EU member states. We’ve moved CNC machines, generators, cranes and construction equipment across Europe.
