About the Munich to Zurich shipping route by road
A truck from Munich to Zurich drives 374 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 242 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 5 h 36 min. The trip fits into one driver's shift, so the truck can load and deliver on the same day.
Road freight on Munich 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 Germany into Switzerland, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
