About the Bucharest to Milan shipping route by road
A truck from Bucharest to Milan drives 1,817 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 1,334 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 41 h, of which 19 h 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 Milan 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 Italy, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 1,704 km and takes about 2.4 days at freight train speed.
