Road transportation is one of the oldest ways of moving goods in the world, which is suitable for transporting many goods and cargoes in terms of price and speed. Currently, a large part of the transportation of goods in the world is carried out by road, and therefore the international transportation company “Gita Arad Darya” provides various services to meet the needs of customers who use land transportation of goods and transit.
∴ Some advantages of road land transportation
- Less investment requirement: The capital required for land transportation is much less than other modes of transportation including rail, air and sea transportation.
- Door to door transportation services: An important advantage of road transportation is the transportation of goods and cargo door to door or from warehouse to warehouse.
- Possibility of providing transportation services in rural areas: Land transportation is suitable for transporting goods and cargo from rural areas that do not have railways, waterways or air.
- Flexible services: Road transportation has a great advantage over other modes of transportation, which is the flexibility of this method. Routes and timing can be adjusted according to the needs of individuals without any non-commitment.
- Suitable for short road distances: Delays in transportation by loading and management intermediaries are avoidable. Cargoes can be loaded directly into the road vehicle and unloaded directly at the destination.
- Less damage to cargo during transportation: Road transportation is suitable for transporting sensitive goods such as fragile containers and glass containers, which have a high risk of damage during the transportation process.
- Speed of movement: If we want to send goods to different destinations immediately, road transportation is much faster than rail and sea transportation. Among these options, sea transportation is slower.
- Saving on packaging costs: Compared to other modes of transportation, the packaging process in road transportation is less complicated. For transporting goods by road and land, less packaging is required or there is no need for packaging at all.
- Private vehicles: Another advantage of land transportation is that large traders can easily have their own vehicles and transport their products to the market without the problems of common delays.
- Feeder of other modes of transportation: Finally, roads are also used in all types of international transportation. Road transport is a feeder to other modes of transport such as rail, sea and air transport.
∴ Despite the various advantages of land and road transport, this method also has limitations. Some of these limitations are as follows:
1- Seasonal nature: Road transport is not as reliable and safe as rail transport. On rainy days or during floods and storms, the roads are unsuitable and in some places unsafe.
2- Accidents and collisions: The chances of accidents and collisions in road transport are higher than other modes. Therefore, road transport is not safer than rail, air and sea transport.
3- Unsuitable for long distances and heavy traffic: Land transport is not suitable for transporting goods over long distances and in high volumes.
4- Low speed: The speed of land transport is slower than air, rail and sea transport in most cases.
5- Lack of organization: Road transport is somewhat less organized and in most cases this little organization is also inappropriate, irregular and unreliable. The cost of transporting cargo is also not uniform.
