About the Bucharest to Warsaw shipping route by road
Bucharest to Warsaw by road: 1,266 km of driving distance, north from Romania to Poland. The straight line is 945 km.
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 Warsaw 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 Poland, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 1,231 km and takes about 41 h at freight train speed.
Of 31 road routes from Bucharest in this directory, Warsaw is the 7th shortest. Closer destinations: Vienna (1,090 km), Kyiv (1,056 km) and Lviv (877 km).
