Most transit calculators just divide distance by speed. This one simulates the journey minute-by-minute — applying the real-world rules that govern how long a professional driver can actually be behind the wheel, and when they simply can't drive at all.
Applies the correct ruleset per region and vehicle class — EC 561/2006 for European HGVs, international vans, and tour buses, GB Domestic Rules for UK-only vans, GB Domestic PSV Rules for UK-only coaches, US FMCSA Hours of Service (49 CFR 395) for US & US–Canada trucking, and Canadian federal HOS for Canada-domestic journeys.
Accounts for Sunday and holiday HGV driving restrictions across Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Belgium. The US & Canada do not have national weekend bans.
Real-world road distances powered by OpenRouteService, so your estimate reflects the actual route — not a straight-line guess.
Switch between vans (up to 3.5t), HGVs (over 3.5t), and tour buses/coaches. The tool automatically selects the correct drivers' hours ruleset based on your origin, destination, and vehicle type — including passenger-carrying vehicle rules for tour buses.
From Heathrow to Hamburg, Chicago to Toronto — domestic UK routes, cross-border European journeys, US domestic trucking, and US–Canada cross-border moves with the correct rules applied.
Set a future departure date and time to see exactly when your driver would arrive, with ban delays and rest stops built in.
01
Type your origin and destination — city, postcode, airport, or full address. We geocode both points with UK, European, and North American biasing for accuracy.
02
Choose van, HGV, or tour bus and enter the weight in tonnes. This determines which drivers' hours rules apply to your move — EU, GB, US, or Canadian, with passenger-carrying rules for tour buses.
03
Optionally choose when your driver leaves. Leave it blank to calculate from now. The simulator runs minute-by-minute from departure.
04
See total transit time, estimated arrival, breaks and rests applied, any ban delays, and the countries traversed — all in one clear breakdown.

Enter your origin, destination and vehicle details to see an estimated transit time with drivers' hours and truck bans applied.
This estimator applies EC 561/2006 drivers' hours rules for HGVs and international vans (including tachograph requirements for LCVs from July 2026), GB Domestic Rules for UK-only van journeys, US FMCSA Hours of Service (49 CFR 395) for US and US–Canada cross-border trucking, and Canadian federal HOS for Canada-domestic journeys. It also uses a simplified table of European weekend truck driving bans. It does not account for traffic, weather, ferry schedules, loading and unloading times, public holidays, seasonal variations, or local restrictions.
