Road freighting is still the leading form of freight transport despite competition from other modes. It offers several benefits over alternative freighting methods.
Road freighting is the only transport mode that can ensure transported products get to their final destination. It is also flexible, and can easily accommodate last-minute changes to its transportation schedule, unlike other modes.
Another benefit is the number of locations that can be served by road freight. Almost every economically active community can be accessed by roads. This benefit and the cost advantage for short distances also make road freighting more suitable for short-distance product delivery.
Packing only needs to occur once when road freighting, resulting in lower charges for the customer. It also leads to a lower possibility of damage to the goods during transportation.
