About the Hamburg to Marseille shipping route by road

The road shipping route from Hamburg, Germany to Marseille, France is 1,484 km (922 miles) on the truck network, heading south. In a straight line the cities are 1,190 km apart, so the road adds 25%.

Transit time for one driver is about 25 h 54 min, of which 14 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 almost in half.

Road freight on Hamburg to Marseille 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 France, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
