The author wants to express the importance of the means and modes of transport
according to the characteristics of the product in order to be able to take the client
in optimal conditions, taking into account factors such as time and costs. Another
aspect that must be taken into account are the characteristics of the product such
as perishable, if they are dangerous substances, if the merchandise is valuable or
expensive, the amount of product that is required to be shipped, which are the
means of transport that will be used will depend on the conditions that have been
agreed with the client, it is also important to take into account to ensure the
merchandise and be clear when negotiating what will be the responsibility that the
supplier and the client will assume. The modes of transport are the road: it is
characterized by its flexibility, however it is not friendly to the environment, since
today companies that require hiring a company are interested in asp effects such
as the environment, since their policies are oriented to the preservation of the
environment in many cases is a promise of sale that differentiates them from the
competition. The railway, compared to the road, 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 transportation of coal. 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 by
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 bulk, solid merchandise and containers, machinery, vehicles.
We could conclude that the means of transport used to carry out the shipment
willdepend on the characteristics of the product and the conditions that have
beennegotiated to choose the means of transport and the logistics platform that
allowsfor better negotiation
