About the Munich to Lyon shipping route by road
A truck from Munich to Lyon drives 892 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 576 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 9 h 18 min. 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.
Road freight on Munich to Lyon 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 France, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 740 km and takes about 24 h 36 min at freight train speed.
