Transit time for one driver is about 2.8 days, of which 34 h 42 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 Barcelona 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 Romania into Spain, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
