 road transport.
The hub is the centre point of the distribution centre that will connect with other different modes of
transport.Let say if they pick a road transports.The road transports imply heavy transport vehicles
which require standardized

loading equipment (freight cars, pallets, boxes, caterpillars etc). The routes of these

transport means can be from "spoke" firms (suppliers, producers etc) to "hub" firms

(wholesalers, retailers etc), which manage specialized commercial storehouses, and from

here to consumers/users (companies or individuals.In other

words, if the transport find the weight which is for the certain port,the road transport will dispatct a
shipment to be fall into a pallets category with less than 100kg.
 The railway
The transport that carry a goods on railway, which the loads are transported to a central

terminal are called as a railway modes. At that terminal the containers are moved on other cars, and
the railway yards are

used to select the cars and compose the trains according to their destination before reach to the
destination;In other words, to carry a load that transport by using the railway mode need the
documentation,labeling and notiy the supplier before deliver the products at the customer door.If the
goods was send even reach in 1 km away the supplier still can contact the person who has purchased
the goods to recieve the product safely by hand.
 Mode : Railway

The "hub and spokes" system is the best known network system. The spokes in
the network constitute transport services between regional terminals and hubs. The hubs
are terminals or, in the case of railway systems, they can be railway nodes. Within the hub,
the transports are conducted from one line to another that connects the hub with the
terminals of destination. Ideally, the hubs are located as close as possible to the gravity
centre of the transport demand. This way the distances to be covered and the duration of
the transports between the terminal of origin and those of destination are minimized. The
total time of transport from terminal to the terminal are grows due to the supplementary distance that
are
necessary for the transport to
the hub and to the time spent in the hub. A "hub and spokes"
system is created in order to combine the introduction of small flows that come and depart for different
directions . (Chopra & Meindl, 2004)
Conclusion
Railway : Bulk cargoes transport using a Rail transport.
Road Freight :Cargoes transport using a road transport.
