About the Antwerp to Bucharest shipping route by road

Transit time for one driver is about 2.5 days, of which 27 h 30 min at the wheel. We assume 9 driving hours a day and an 11 hour rest between shifts, as EU drivers' hours rules require. A two driver team can keep the truck moving and cut the trucking transit time almost in half.
Road freight on Antwerp to Bucharest is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use).

The trip crosses from Belgium into Romania, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 2,228 km and takes about 3.1 days at freight train speed.
