About us

From Estonia
to every corner
of Europe.

Founded in 1994 in Tartu, Estonia. Today a pan-European logistics partner operating across 35+ countries. Pan-European reach, Baltic expertise.

1994
Our story

From a single truck in Tartu to a pan-European network.

Hert Transport was founded in 1994, just three years after Estonia regained independence. What started as a small vehicle transport operation in Tartu grew steadily as the Baltic states opened their borders to European trade.

Over three decades, we built route knowledge that no algorithm can replicate. Every corridor we operate today was learned by driving it, understanding its customs requirements, navigating its infrastructure, and building relationships with local partners along the way.

Over three decades, we've built a trusted partner network across Europe, connecting our Baltic expertise to major automotive logistics corridors. Today, we move vehicles and cargo across 35+ countries, from the Nordics to the Mediterranean and the United Kingdom, with the same hands-on approach that started it all in Tartu.

"We built this company one route at a time. Every country we operate in today, we learned by driving it."
