About the London to Zurich shipping route by road
London to Zurich by road: 1,010 km of driving distance, south east from the United Kingdom to Switzerland. The straight line is 776 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 23 h 42 min, of which 12 h 42 min at the wheel. We assume 9 driving hours a day and an 11 hour rest between shifts. A two driver team can keep the truck moving and cut the trucking transit time. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on London to Zurich 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 Switzerland, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
