About the Brussels to Madrid shipping route by road
Brussels to Madrid by road: 1,628 km of driving distance, south west from Belgium to Spain. The straight line is 1,317 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 27 h 54 min, of which 16 h 54 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 Brussels to Madrid is booked as FTL (a full truck for one shipper) or LTL and groupage (you pay for the pallet places you use). FTL is faster and safer for high value goods; groupage is cheaper for a few pallets but adds consolidation time. The trip crosses from Belgium into Spain, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
