About the Stockholm to Hamburg shipping route by road
A truck from Stockholm to Hamburg drives 982 km. That is the driving distance on roads open to heavy goods vehicles, against 811 km as the crow flies.
Transit time for one driver is about 21 h 48 min, of which 10 h 48 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. The route includes a ferry crossing: book the slot early, and add waiting time at the port.
Road freight on Stockholm to Hamburg 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 Sweden into Germany, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, with no customs declarations inside the EU single market.
By rail the same trip is 975 km and takes about 32 h 30 min at freight train speed.
