These are regular shifts that ensure continuous border control. During shift change, processing of of trucks at Porubne typically slows for 20–60 minutes. To minimize wait, plan to cross **30+ minutes before or 60+ minutes after** the approximate shift change. Check the live queue above for current status. The neighboring Romania checkpoint is in the same time zone as Ukraine (Kyiv time), so its shift change falls at roughly the same **08:00 and 20:00**. Because both sides change at the same time, the slowdown is concentrated in narrow windows — **about 08:00–08:30 in the morning and 20:00–20:30 in the evening** (Kyiv time). ## Queue Chart: Today & Yesterday ##### Queue at checkpoint for the last 24 hours Real Data Increased Load [**When is the best time to go?** Load statistics by day and hour](https://nakordoni.eu/en/id/id_351/statistics) Detailed statistics for today and yesterday · Peak Hours · Data Comparison ## Detailed statistics for today and yesterday ### Border Queue Analysis at the Porubne - cargo transport checkpoint for Yesterday During the period 15.07.2026 from 00:00 to 23:59 at the Porubne - cargo transport checkpoint, the following key moments were recorded: **Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00):** No data for Morning hours (06:00 - 12:00). **Afternoon (12:00 - 18:00):** No data for Afternoon (12:00 - 18:00). **Evening hours (18:00 - 24:00):** No data for Evening hours (18:00 - 24:00). **Night hours (00:00 - 06:00):** No data for Night hours (00:00 - 06:00). #### Chart for Yesterday and the Day Before ### Recommendations No data for Plan your trips in advance using up-to-date border queue information at the Porubne - cargo transport checkpoint to make your crossing fast and convenient.
