About the Bucharest to Antwerp shipping route by road
Bucharest to Antwerp by road: 2,168 km of driving distance, north west from Romania to Belgium. The straight line is 1,779 km.
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 Bucharest to Antwerp 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 Romania into Belgium, 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.
