Transit time for one driver is about 2.7 days, of which 31 h 42 min at the wheel. We assume 9 driving hours a day and an 11 hour rest between shifts. A two driver team can keep the truck moving and cut the trucking transit time almost in half.
Road freight on Santiago to Buenos Aires 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 Chile into Argentina, so the carrier needs transport and customs papers for both sides, plus export and import declarations at the border.
