Transit time for one driver is about 45 h 24 min, of which 23 h 24 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 Sofia 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 Bulgaria, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
