AUTOMOBILE CARGO TRANSPORTATION

Automobile transportation is considered to be the most sought after mode of transportation. This type of transportation perfectly suits smaller and medium cargoes. Automobile transportation of goods can be carried out within the country as well as beyond.

Such popularity of automobile transportation is explained by several factors, the first one is its cost and mobility. It can be stated certainly that at the moment this is the most cost effective option for delivery of goods.

Another advantage of automobile transportation is immediate shipment of cargo. If other types of transportation (railway, aircraft) demand consolidation of cargo, the automobile transportation is carried out without delays (possibly on the same day when the order has been registered).

High mobility is another unquestionable advantage of automobile transportation of cargo. While aircraft needs an airport and train needs a train station, automobile only needs road in order to deliver goods to the “doorstep” of a client (it can be asphalt road, dirt road, etc.).

Automobile transportation is universal – it suits to any kinds of cargoes. Modern trucks are equipped with special technology which allows transportation of wide variety of cargo with any kind of technical characteristics. At the same time one does not have to worry about the safety of the goods – road transportation is highly reliable and additional guarantee of quality is enabled by insurance of cargo.

Transportation by road has hardly any disadvantages. First of all it is geographical limits. It is certain that if cargo consignee is located beyond the territory of a continent, delivery by road will not be possible. The second (and last) disadvantage: if cargo has to be carried through a long distance, but within one country, such mode of transportation will turn out to be financially disadvantageous. In such cases the most suitable choice is railway transport.

Numerous transportation companies are ready to offer their clients the service of automobile transportation by road. Whichever way one prefers depends on characteristics of cargo, financial possibilities and requirements and quality of work.
