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.

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.

Rules on the route to Cluj
As of October 2026. We follow changes as they happen and build them into the route plan.
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.
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.
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.
