Road Transportation
Road transportation services involve the movement of goods or passengers by vehicles, such as trucks, vans, buses, and other types of road vehicles. This mode of transport is essential for both domestic and international logistics, providing flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility to areas that may be unreachable by rail or air. Road transportation plays a crucial role in the last-mile delivery process, making it vital for the movement of goods from ports, airports, and rail yards to their final destinations.
Full Truckload (FTL): This service is used when a customer’s goods require the use of an entire truck. It is often more cost-effective for large shipments since the customer does not have to share the space with other shipments. FTL is suitable for larger businesses with significant freight volumes.
Key Benefits of Road Transportation:
Flexibility: Road transport can reach areas that may be inaccessible by other modes of transport, such as remote locations, rural areas, or areas without a railway or port connection.
Cost-Effective for Short Distances: Road transportation is often the most economical option for short distances, especially for shipments that don’t require the use of a full truck.
Door-to-Door Delivery: Unlike air or sea freight, road transport can offer direct delivery from one location to another, without requiring transfers at intermediate terminals. This is particularly useful for the last-mile delivery in e-commerce and logistics.
