Road transport refers to the movement of goods and people by road using vehicles such as trucks, buses, and cars. It is a common mode of transportation for short to medium distances and is often used for the delivery of goods to retail stores, factories, and warehouses.
Road transport can be used for both domestic and international shipments. It is often used for goods that require flexible and fast delivery, such as fresh produce, perishable goods, and just-in-time inventory. It is also used for the transportation of raw materials and finished goods to and from production sites.
Road transport has several advantages, including its flexibility, accessibility, and cost-effectiveness for short to medium distances. It also allows for door-to-door delivery and can be easily integrated with other modes of transportation such as air and sea freight for longer distances.
However, road transport also has some disadvantages, including the impact of traffic congestion, road conditions, and weather on delivery times. It can also have a higher environmental impact than other modes of transportation.
