About the London to Marseille shipping route by road
London to Marseille by road: 1,261 km of driving distance, south east from the United Kingdom to France. The straight line is 1,002 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 25 h 48 min, of which 14 h 48 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 London 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 the United Kingdom into France, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
