The region makes appliances, furniture, textiles, timber and bottled water. Kalvarija, on the Polish border, is close to its western towns. Exports usually go with partner carriers that we check. - Alytus county is the most forested county in Lithuania, with 44% forest, and makes about 5.3% of the country’s industrial output. - Dzūkija has no free economic zone; its organised industrial site is the city-run Alytus industrial park. - In the south-west of the region, the Šeštokai intermodal terminal and Mockava station give a rail link to Poland. - The A1 crosses the Vilnius-side towns of Elektrėnai and Trakai district, while Varėna lies on the highway from Vilnius to Druskininkai.

From the first call to delivery you deal with one contact person and get one invoice from RNJ Transport. 1. ### You send the load details Give the collection and delivery addresses, the date, the pallets or loading metres and the weight in the request form. 2. ### We plan the truck We choose our own truck or check a partner carrier for your dates. 3. ### You get a fixed price We confirm the price and the planned collection and delivery days. 4. ### You get the truck details Before loading you get the truck and trailer numbers and the driver’s phone number. 5. ### Loading and the trip The driver collects the load with the consignment note, a CMR note on international loads. If anything changes, we call you. 6. ### Delivery and one invoice After delivery you get the signed consignment note and one invoice from RNJ Transport. ## Frequently asked questions 1. Do you collect in any town of Dzūkija, not only in Alytus? Yes. We collect in Alytus, Varėna, Lazdijai, Druskininkai, Elektrėnai, Trakai, Šalčininkai and the smaller towns around them. Send the exact address, the loading day and the load size. Our own trucks handle domestic and Swedish runs when free, and checked partners the rest. 2. Do you run Dzūkija loads to Klaipėda port and Scandinavia? Yes. The trucks head north to Kaunas, join the A1 and reach Klaipėda, where ferries sail to Sweden and Germany. Swedish deliveries use our own trucks when we have one free. Norway loads also need customs papers, which our partner customs broker writes. 3. Can you bring materials from Poland or Germany to Alytus, Varėna or Lazdijai? Yes. Partner trucks that we check enter Lithuania at Kalvarija, which is close to the region’s western towns. From there they reach Alytus, Lazdijai or Varėna on regional roads. Give the supplier’s address, the town and the date you need the goods. 4. Do you carry bottled water from Druskininkai or Varėna? Yes. Bottled mineral water and soft drinks on pallets travel as heavy full loads on a curtainsider. We check the weight against the trailer’s payload before loading. Druskininkai and Varėna both bottle water, so we plan loads from either town. ## Sources (8) 1. [VLE encyclopaedia: Dzūkija](https://www.vle.lt/straipsnis/dzukija/) 2.
