About the Bucharest to Vienna shipping route by road
Bucharest to Vienna by road: 1,090 km of driving distance, north west from Romania to Austria. The straight line is 856 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 22 h 54 min, of which 11 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.
Road freight on Bucharest to Vienna 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 Austria, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 1,075 km and takes about 35 h 48 min at freight train speed.
