The author intends to recommend that at the time of choosing a correct transport of
products, business large or small mode, you must find a balance between time and
restrictions, and transport that choose is reliable so that your customers do not fiel n
disappointed. To choose the transport must analyze the type of load: perishable,
dangerous, fragile and cost.

Considerations for choosing the right transport mode:

 Budget: should be the most important factor in the decision-making.

 Transport speed and the time of delivery of the products: If you have
perishable items, send them by sea, more than three months is a bad
idea. Carrying products that can be classified as hazardous, there are several
guidelines that must be followed, and contact the branch of Department of
transport dangerous godos
 Put and size: Choose the right transportation for their products mode
depends on the size and the urgency of your shipment damage during transit
is fairly common, usually is the responsibility of the supplier ensure shipments
are properly packaged and labeled to reduce the risk.

Road transport: Road transport is cheap comfortable and flexible but the
disadvantage are not eco-friendly, and may be subject to weight, dimensions of load
and occasionally to long delays. The railway transport: It's fast and eco-
environment has high load capacity, however it can be very expensive. Air
transport: Air cargo is undoubtedly the fastest way to transport their products over
long distances, but is expensive and limited weight is not very ecological. The
maritime transport: In comparison with air cargo ship their products by sea is
relatively economical, especially if you send large volumes. However it is quite

inflexible and slow, there are relatively few ports and probably should make
arrangements to transport their products inland.
