National and International Land Cargo Transportation

To choose the means of transportation for the optimal transfer of a product, different factors must be evaluated. Some of them are: the type, value, weight and volume of the product; type of load; manipulations; type and cost of packaging; security; accessibility, availability, frequency, speed and cost of the mode of transport. Additionally, the cost of customs must be considered and the required documentation may intervene in the decision to use maritime, air or land transportation services. It is important to note that each mode of transportation has its own characteristics. For example, air transportation is not optimal for large loads because air freight prices can be very high. Likewise, maritime transport cannot be used for urgent cargo because it requires a long time to complete its route. To make the best decision, it is advisable to have the advice of experienced logistics operators.

It is important to insure all merchandise that is in transit from an origin to a specific destination. In this way, a backup is provided that protects the cargo against possible damages or losses (risks) that occur on the route. It is recommended that all shippers have international cargo insurance. The decision making of the service will basically depend on the risks you want to cover on your merchandise. This support can be established on products that move through any multimodal cargo transportation route.
