About the London to Vienna shipping route by road
London to Vienna by road: 1,500 km of driving distance, east from the United Kingdom to Austria. The straight line is 1,235 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 28 h 6 min, of which 17 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 Vienna 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 Austria, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
By rail the same trip is 1,553 km and takes about 2.2 days at freight train speed.
