Frequently asked
How long does Spain to Austria road freight take from Barcelona?
Barcelona → Vienna: 3 days FTL, 4–5 days LTL. Barcelona → Graz: 3 days FTL, 4 days LTL. Barcelona → Linz: 2–3 days FTL, 3–4 days LTL. All transits are door-to-door; Madrid or Valencia pickups add 24 hours.
Do you handle Alpine-pass routing and winter restrictions?
Yes. Our dispatch plans around seasonal chain laws, truck bans on specific days (e.g. Austrian Saturday night bans), and the Brenner corridor traffic window. We route via Salzburg-Linz or the Brenner depending on destination and season, not whichever looks shortest on a map.
Can you deliver to industrial hubs like Graz and Linz directly?
Yes. Graz (Magna Steyr and its supplier cluster) and Linz (voestalpine, chemical cluster) are regular weekly stops on our Austria lane. We know the plant access procedures and delivery windows for the main sites.
Is Austria an intra-EU lane — any customs formalities?
Intra-EU, so no customs declaration. Documentation is limited to CMR plus any product-specific paperwork (ADR, phytosanitary, etc.). No border-waiting; a tachograph rest stop is usually the longest delay.
Can you do urgent LTL to Vienna?
Yes, on the priority lane. Barcelona-cutoff orders placed by early afternoon can be delivered in Vienna within 2–3 days on our express LTL schedule.
