What is Road Transportation?
Road transportation involves moving goods overland using trucks, providing flexibility and accessibility that other modes of transport cannot match. It’s an essential part of the logistics chain, particularly for shipments that need to reach destinations not directly accessible by sea or air. Road transportation is ideal for both short-haul and long-haul deliveries, ensuring goods are transported efficiently across regions. Whether moving a single carton or multiple pallets, road transport offers a versatile solution that can be tailored to specific logistics needs.
