About the London to Brussels shipping route by road
A truck from London to Brussels drives 372 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 321 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 6 h 24 min. The trip fits into one driver's shift, so the truck can load and deliver on the same day. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on London to Brussels 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 the United Kingdom into Belgium, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
