About the Lisbon to London shipping route by road
A truck from Lisbon to London drives 2,110 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 1,585 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 2.8 days, of which 33 h 6 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. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on Lisbon to London 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 Portugal into the United Kingdom, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
By rail the same trip is 2,288 km and takes about 3.2 days at freight train speed.
