Transportation is one of the most vital economic activities for business. By moving goods
from the location where they are sourced to the location where they are requested, transportation
provides an important service to connect the company with its suppliers and customers. It is an
important activity in the logistics function, supporting the economic utility of place and time.
The place utility concludes that the customer has the product available where they demand it.
Time utility indicates that customers have access to the product when they demand it. By
working in close collaboration with inventory planners, transportation professionals seek to
ensure that businesses have products available where and when customers look for them. The
solution to dealing with the problem of transportation and delivery drivers is to look for people
who really can use motorized vehicles by showing their driving license card, for the vehicle they
can use an existing vehicle or one that is already owned. In the world of venture-backed
technology companies, one of the biggest reasons for failure is that the company is solving a
problem that doesn't really exist, or one that isn’t valuable enough to solve in the first place. The
best way to de-risk this is by having direct exposure to the problem.
If you can't solve problems you have direct exposure to, try solving ones that you have a
lot of familiarity with, either through industry experience or through your calls with customers
who feel the pain themselves and are willing to pay to have it solved. Whichever method you
pick, don't try the approach of building a full product first and then seeing if people will pay
money for it. in the case of a sole trader, starting a business is risky because the operation of your
business is wholly dependent on you. If you have considered the challenges and risks and are
keen as ever to start a business then you next need to assess your business idea.
