In this text we are given a brief, but very complete description of the types ofgoods transport that
exist today, and that always as exporters we will have tointeract with them and that the way to
choose the means as we will transportThe goods must be balanced between time and cost,
also taking into accountthe nature of our merchandise. Another factor to take into account is the
economic resources that the companypossesses: In general, land transport is a cheaper and more
flexible, however, ithas greater geographic restrictions and can be affected by the state of roadsand
traffic. Air transport is faster and allows greater coverage, but is considerably moreexpensive and
subject to greater restrictions on cargo.Meanwhile, maritime transport allows a greater variety of
products to transportand has a lower cost than air. As we see, there are many transportation
options for companies. It is onlynecessary to consider the needs, resources and objectives of the
company inorder the choose the most convenient alternative.Road transport is cheap comfortable
and flexible but the disadvantage is noteco-friendly, and may be subject to weight, dimensions of
load and occasionallyto long delays.

The distance between the origin and the destination is essential because it defines the type of
service level desired and the choice of the form of transport. The transportation offer: this is related
according to the geographical and economic needs. The final destination of the product depending
on the requesting country or city is essential to define the transport to be used. Maritime transport
has important relevance to the rest. However, in order to reach the final customer, the most flexible
transport is the truck. You can reach all points on the land map, unlike ships, trains or planes. Any
of these types of transport will be more or less relevant depending on the level of service that
customers want to provide.
