Road freight on Sofia to Prague 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 Czechia, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
