About the Copenhagen to Munich shipping route by road
A truck from Copenhagen to Munich drives 1,123 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 841 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 22 h 42 min, of which 11 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. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on Copenhagen to Munich 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 Denmark into Germany, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 1,132 km and takes about 37 h 42 min at freight train speed.
