About the Munich to Copenhagen shipping route by road
Munich to Copenhagen by road: 1,123 km of driving distance, north from Germany to Denmark. The straight line is 841 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 22 h 42 min, of which 11 h 42 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. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on Munich to Copenhagen 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 Germany into Denmark, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 1,132 km and takes about 37 h 42 min at freight train speed.
