About the Prague to Istanbul shipping route by road

Transit time for one driver is about 44 h 30 min, of which 22 h 30 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.
Road freight on Prague to Istanbul 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 Czechia into Türkiye, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
By rail the same trip is 1,925 km and takes about 2.7 days at freight train speed.
