About the Sofia to Frankfurt shipping route by road
Sofia to Frankfurt by road: 1,851 km of driving distance, north west from Bulgaria to Germany. The straight line is 1,389 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 43 h, of which 21 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 Sofia to Frankfurt 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 Bulgaria into Germany, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
