Road transportation peculiarities:
One of the key advantages of this transportation mode is the possibility of door-to-door delivery. Another plus of the road transportation is its multifunctionality. To deliver the freight, our client may choose the vehicle which is the most convenient by carrying capacity, volume and loading method.
The main shortcoming is, first of all, its constantly varying cost. Most commonly, changes are caused by rise in petrol price. Another important disadvantage of the road haulage is the human factor. A driver can be late, can lose its way, or be penalized for traffic regulation inobservance or lack of accompanying documents properly executed. This list can be added by the impossibility of delivery due to weather conditions such as glaze, blizzard or low visibility.
