Key aspects of Road Transport in Logistics include
Flexibility
Road transport offers flexibility in terms of routes and destinations. Roads are available to almost every corner of the world, enabling the transportation of goods to remote areas where other modes of transportation may not be feasible.
Fast and Time-Sensitive
Road transport can be faster for shorter distances, and it is often the preferred choice when time-sensitive deliveries are required.
Last-Mile Delivery
In the logistics industry, the last-mile delivery refers to the final stage of the delivery process, where goods are transported from a local hub or distribution center to the end customer’s location. Road transport is crucial for last-mile delivery, as it is the mode that can directly reach the customers’ doorsteps.
Intermodal Connectivity
Road transport serves as a vital link to connect different modes of transportation, such as ports, airports, and rail terminals, allowing for seamless movement of goods across different transport networks.
Technological Advancements
Advancements in technology, such as GPS tracking, real-time monitoring systems, and route optimization software, have significantly improved the efficiency and safety of road transport in logistics.
Overall, road transport remains an integral part of the logistics industry, providing a reliable and efficient means of transporting goods across various distances and locations. However, as sustainability and environmental concerns continue to grow, there is an increasing focus on adopting greener and more eco-friendly alternatives in the transportation sector.
General Transport
The transport of dry goods or general cargo does not require any particular handling or treatment.Unlike bulk or tank transport, this type of goods is usually palletised to facilitate loading and unloading of the vehicle. Break bulk cargo is cargo that is transported unconsolidated, such as packages, boxes or sacks with their own packaging. Unit loads are goods that travel in groups of pallets.
Transport of Special Cargo
Heavy or oversized cargo requires the availability of suitable transport to transport it, whether it is machinery, industrial or construction elements. Normally, in this circumstance it is essential to use special machinery for handling, loading and unloading, such as large tonnage machinery or cranes. At Maritima Sureste we have qualified personnel, the relevant authorisations and the best vehicles for this service.
