About the London to Rome shipping route by road
A truck from London to Rome drives 1,922 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 1,434 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 44 h 6 min, of which 22 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 London to Rome 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 Italy, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
