About the Bucharest to Athens shipping route by road
Bucharest to Athens by road: 1,355 km of driving distance, south from Romania to Greece. The straight line is 743 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 26 h 30 min, of which 15 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 Athens 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 Greece, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
