About the Paris to Copenhagen shipping route by road
A truck from Paris to Copenhagen drives 1,225 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 1,027 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 24 h 18 min, of which 13 h 18 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 Paris 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 France 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 1,320 km and takes about 44 h at freight train speed.
