Let's say you need to deliver a few boxes from point A to point B. You calculated that a separate transportation would cost a lot. In addition, it is inexpedient and unprofitable to hire a car for a small batch. To solve this problem, there are combined transport.
This is the delivery of small loads of different customers, which is carried out on one car and in the directions. This approach makes it possible to reduce the cost of delivering a small-sized cargo, which makes it an ideal option for small and medium-sized businesses.
Advantages of modular transportation:
- the ability to save money efficiently;
- Convenience, since delivery is carried out "from door to door".
In fact, transportation costs per unit of goods remain at the level of transportation of a large batch. To do this, a certain number is combined to be sent on the agreed route. The freight cost of the car is divided between all customers. Prefabricated parties are formed at the warehouses of freight forwarding companies. In the same place, the goods are prepared for transportation and they make out the necessary package of documents. The delivery time depends on how long the lot is fully formed, how far the route is thought out, and so on.
Complex cargo
Unlike the prefabricated, the complex cargo is intended for one recipient and completely occupies the cargo space of the car. The customer fully pays for the freight of the vehicle. Most often, the download is made at the warehouse of the sender, and, if necessary, loading in another place is possible.
