We serve companies of all sizes – from sole proprietorships to multinational corporations. Our portfolio ranges from partial LTL (Less Than Truckload) shipments of 1 pallet or more, to full FTL (Full Truck Load) shipments and permanent logistics services for manufacturing and trading companies. According to the PARP report “SME Sector in Poland 2024”, small and medium-sized enterprises account for 99.8% of all companies in the country and generate 68% of GDP, so flexibility in serving different scales of customers is a priority for us. The minimum shipment to be realized is the transportation of 1 europallet (120×80 cm), regardless of the size of your company – the europallet standard is defined by the European Pallet Pool (EPAL) and is exactly 1200×800×144 mm. What counts is partnership and professionalism in any cooperation.

The cost of transportation depends on 7 key factors: distance, weight and dimensions of cargo, type of vehicle, urgency of delivery, direction of route, type of goods and additional charges. In 2025, the average rate for international transport in Poland is PLN 6 – 12 per kilometer, according to GP-TRANS, with transport on western routes (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium) being more expensive than eastern directions. Shipments requiring special conditions – refrigerated, ADR (hazardous materials), oversized – cost 20-30% more than standard transport. Additional charges include highway tolls (e.g., German Maut, Swiss LSVA), parking at loading/unloading, and possible customs clearance when transporting outside the EU. European Parliament Regulation 2020/1056 affects costs through requirements for drivers to return to base every 4 weeks.

FTL (Full Truck Load) is a full truck load dedicated to one customer, while LTL (Less Than Truck Load) is partial shipments from 1 pallet, combined with third-party loads. FTL is faster (direct delivery without transshipment), safer and more cost-effective than 10-12 pallets of Euro pallets ( EPAL standard 120×80 cm). LTL works well for smaller volumes and saves up to 40-60% of costs compared to renting an entire vehicle. According to Transport Intelligence ‘s 2024 report, the average delivery time for FTL Poland-Germany is 24-36 hours, while LTL requires 48-72 hours due to the consolidation of cargo in distribution centers. It is also worth considering the type of goods when choosing – high-value cargo, easily damaged cargo or cargo requiring constant temperature should be transported FTL to minimize risk.

The basic document is the CMR (Convention relative au contrat de transport international de Marchandises par Route), an international waybill regulated by the 1956 Geneva Convention. The CMR specifies the carrier’s liability (up to 8.33 SDR/kg, or ~€11.50 at the IMF exchange rate) and must be issued in triplicate. In addition, a commercial invoice (invoice), packing list (detailed list of cargo), certificates of origin for some goods and possibly T1 customs documents when exporting outside the EU (e.g. to the UK, Switzerland) are required. For ADR cargoes, Material Safety Data Sheets are required in accordance with UNECE guidelines. Transportation of food products requires sanitary and veterinary certificates, and transportation of pharmaceuticals requires GDP (Good Distribution Practice) documentation. Antrans BiS helps to prepare a set of documents – eliminating the risk of delays at borders and customs controls.
