One of the most important pillars of the transportation sector is road transport. Road transport, which is preferred as one of the safest ways for a product to reach from one country to another, has advantages as well as disadvantages.
Why Road Transport
It requires lower infrastructure costs compared to other modes of transport. No terminal is needed. It connects production and consumption centers. The transportation network is unlimited as long as geographical conditions are favorable. It has the capability to operate 24/7. It offers fast and reliable service. It is easier to find and arrange vehicles in road transport. More frequent trips can be made at shorter intervals. It is more economical than other transportation methods, especially for short-distance transport. It provides the opportunity to transport loads of different weights and volumes.
Waiting due to customs procedures in transit countries, increased transportation costs over long distances, the small amount of cargo carried in a single trip, risk of accidents, causing environmental pollution, and being directly affected by price fluctuations are among the disadvantages of road transport.
