Everything is clear and understandable for trucks! I drove into the drive and rest until they call. Shower, toilet, shops, dining room, everything is there! Even slot machines are for those who like to try their luck. And there is also a sports ground for relaxing after the flight. The prices in the dining room are affordable. A shower of 3 € is expensive in my opinion, so there are no queues in it)
And most importantly, no one goes around the track like on a stone log. It is possible to book a transfer. So only positive emotions...
A terrible checkpoint! I work for a company and send trucks through them.
Cars pass normally at all points, but this one is distinguished by its employees.
The border is always a delay of not a couple of hours, but here it is necessary to measure the days

Disgusting, passenger buses are queuing for at least 3 hours!
If, for example, you have a flight from Vilnius, you are at great risk of missing the plane
It is better than many similar ones (we tried it on ourselves). There are, of course, "shoals" (they can leave for lunch for an hour, they can collect a tail in the border strip), but basically everything is clear. They do not extort money, they do not find fault with trifles.
The border is like a border. It would be better if she didn't exist. It would be better for people to move around, communicate more. Otherwise, it takes 5 hours to go to Vilnius, which is nearby, including 3 hours to cross the border...
I would like to work faster, people take money to Lithuania and sometimes Customs just scoffs! I called the helpline-they started moving! But one car was pulled out for full control! You made a mistake! I was standing in front of them!
There are an incredible number of cars for the holiday. The border guards work with laziness. They have nowhere to hurry: the salary is coming. The border crossing time reaches 6-7 hours. Maybe someone was lucky and this indicator reached 10 hours of waiting! It is not necessary to travel across borders on national and New Year holidays. You 'll curse everything !
The Kamenny Log checkpoint is located in the direction of Minsk, unlike the Kotlovka checkpoint, there is no need to make a circle with a distance of up to 30 km to get to Minsk
We always lose five or seven hours on holidays. If you want to go to Duty Free, then only here. Since in the other two crossings that are nearby - Lavorishkes or even closer Shumskas, there are no cafes or duty-free shops at all. But after replacing the Dutik from Lithuania, the prices in the new one are more expensive than in the same Maxim before leaving Vilnius. But in general, everything is very good. Thanks!
The fact that there is a drive is super. Now for 30-40 hours you don't twitch in a rut, but sleep....And 3 stars for the fact that the waiting time and the speed of work have not changed much. The drive is paid!!!
Very nice border guards, they arrange everything themselves, children do not need to get out of the car (a big plus if the children are sleeping), they checked the documents and the car for 15 minutes
The queue of trucks from the Lithuanian side has turned into extortion from truckers, they do not stand on the road as on the Belarusian side, but are forced to drive into a storage unit where they have to pay at least 10 euros, but at least all the amenities are there... You have to spend several days in the queue, apparently because of the Lithuanian border guards, who work the night shift of 2 (TWO) people for all these hundreds of trucks. This is an obstacle to trade turnover between countries and general economic development, not to mention human rights violations
Disgusting. We stood for 3 hours in the green corridor. One window for EU citizens and other passports. It seemed that it would be better to have something with you to declare in order to drive faster. The border guard read every page of the passport (they have nothing to do). Thanks to the Belarusian brothers, we missed it quickly after such a hell.
From the Lithuanian side, the throughput is good, the Belarusians are slowing down, they returned to Lithuania because of an empty tire. Keep in mind that it is forbidden to carry an empty tire on the disk, it is possible.
There are obvious problems in the work of Lithuanian services. They work very slowly and it is unclear why. Cars are inspected formally, they don't want anything from you. They just look at passports for a long time. Returning to Belarus, we spent 1 hour and 45 minutes with the Lithuanians and only 15 minutes with the Belarusians. Although, logically, it should be the other way around. Otherwise, everything is civil, there is a toilet, a cafe, the staff are polite, they do not force you to stand in front of their window and freeze, they follow you themselves.
In the summer, there were huge queues during the day. They skip it quickly at night. This time, at one o'clock in the morning, I skipped both borders for 30 minutes
