About the Rotterdam to Rome shipping route by road
A truck from Rotterdam to Rome drives 1,767 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 1,268 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 29 h, of which 18 h 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 Rotterdam to Rome 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 the Netherlands into Italy, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
