About the Rome to London shipping route by road
Rome to London by road: 1,922 km of driving distance, north west from Italy to the United Kingdom. The straight line is 1,434 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 44 h 6 min, of which 22 h 6 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 Rome to London 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 Italy into the United Kingdom, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
