The document highlights the importance of logistics by means of transport, since

in anytown there are processes of commercialization, purchase and sale of products
and for the whole process transport is needed, and it must be ensured that the transport
isadequate for cargo and in the shortest time and lowest costs, for this there is a
dialoguebetween exporters and importers throughout the negotiation, and rely on
technology inthe transit time of the merchandise.  
One of the most important recommendations that the text does not refer to is
thebalance, time vs budget, this occurs knowing the distances, for example, currently
withthe pandemic worldwide, vaccines are being mobilized which must be transported
byplane by their specific requirements and they must be delivered in the shortest
possibletime, if it were by boat the time could be weeks or months and in this case it is
notconvenient, this is given by the urgency of the current moment and that it is a
transportof biological which must reach special temperatures in refrigerators.
To choose the ideal mode of transport for the products, it is necessary to know the
size,packaging and how quickly it must arrive at its destination, and the advantages
anddisadvantages of each merchandise transport option.
The different types of transport:land is the most common within the countries and which
is cheaper, and the one thatreaches many places in the world that cannot be accessed
by other means of transport,
and also transports different types of cargo which makesit flexible, in moreindustrialized
countries rail transport is used, it is fast, but much more expensive thanland transport,

and that are needed in time for long is the movement by container ship,at lower costs.

as
environment, since its policies are aimed at preserving the environment in many cases it
is a promise of sale that differentiates it from the competition.

The railroad, in comparison with the highway, is usually inflexible and expensive. It is
recommended when it is used for long trips in which what is transported goes from the
point of origin to the destination or in which it is not necessary to use another mode of
transport. This is the transport of coal or also for dangerous products. However, there
are countries in which this modality shows relevance and great importance in the
transport of goods due to low costs. Air is one of the fastest to travel long distances, but
more expensive because it involves the payment of tariffs, and generally you have to
pay taxes, in addition to the merchandise being measured for kg

Sea or river: compared to air transport, it is usually much cheaper, although it has its
limitations such as the availability of ports, but it is very convenient for the transport of
grain, solid merchandise and containers, machinery, vehicles.
