About the Sofia to London shipping route by road
Sofia to London by road: 2,452 km of driving distance, north west from Bulgaria to the United Kingdom. The straight line is 2,015 km.
Transit time for one driver is about 2.7 days, of which 30 h 54 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 Sofia 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 Bulgaria into the United Kingdom, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
Of 32 road routes from Sofia in this directory, London is the 29th shortest. Closer destinations: Copenhagen (2,401 km), Barcelona (2,384 km) and Marseille (2,180 km).
