Transit time for one driver is about 21 h 6 min, of which 10 h 6 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.
Road freight on Zurich to Vienna 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 Switzerland into Austria, so the truck travels on a CMR consignment note, plus export and import declarations at the border.
