The text distribution of products makes reference that it is very important to


choose the correct mode of transport to distribute the product and satisfy the
customer.

When you're choosing how best to transport your products, budget should
bethe most important factor in your decision-making.The speed of the transport
is also important. Road transport is cheap, convenient and one of the most
flexible modes of transport, but it's not as eco-friendly as other methods.

Refers to the rail transport is speedy, environmentally friendly and not (always)
subject to congestion or delays. However, it is inflexible and can be very
expensive.

The easiest way to ship your products by rail is to buy a rail haulage. This text
also gives us a brief and complete description of the types of transport of goods
and services that currently exist. The way to choose the means as we transport
products must be balanced between time and cost, also taking into account the
nature of our merchandise.

Another important factor is the economic resources that the company has: in
general, land transport is cheaper and more flexible, however, it has greater
geographical restrictions and can be affected by the state of roads and traffic.
Air transport is faster and allows greater coverage, but is considerably more
expensive and is subject to greater cargo restrictions.

Meanwhile, shipping allows a greater variety of products to be transported and


has a lower cost than air. As we see, there are many transport options for
companies.

It is only necessary to take into account the needs, resources and objectives of
the company to choose the most convenient alternative. Road transport is
economical, comfortable and flexible, but the disadvantage is environmentally
friendly and may be subject to the weight, dimensions of the load.
