About the Duisburg to Barcelona shipping route by road

Duisburg to Barcelona by road: 1,484 km of driving distance, south from Germany to Spain. The straight line is 1,171 km.

Transit time for one driver is about 25 h 42 min, of which 14 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 Duisburg to Barcelona 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 Germany into Spain, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.

By rail the same trip is 1,462 km and takes about 2.0 days at freight train speed.
