LAND FREIGTH TRANSPORTATION
The best-known means of land transportation is the truck. Truck drivers, day after day, travel through different countries with goods that go from one destination to another. Another well-known means of land transportation, after the truck, is the train. The train is a widely used means of land transportation throughout the world. Furthermore, its appearance was one of the main factors that motivated the expansion of trade throughout the world.
ADVANTAGES:
- Investment: The investment required to create roads is less than that necessary for the development of airports or seaports, for example. Likewise, maintenance is less.
- Door to door delivery: Generally, this system allows for door-to-door delivery of merchandise, unlike other means. This is what happens with vans, bicycles or trucks.
- Integration: This system allows for the growth of commerce and local integration between different communities.
- Loading and unloading: It is considered a profitable system for the transportation, loading and unloading of merchandise. That is, the costs associated with these activities are low.
- Rural zones: It also allows travel to rural areas, villages and small towns.
DISADVANTAGES:
- Less safe: This system, compared to others, presents a greater risk of accidents occurring.
- less organized: Likewise, it has a lower level of organization, which could be related to the number of vehicles.
- Rates: Rates tend to be unstable and unequal.
- Solwer: For the transfer of goods, it is usually slower than other systems.
- Volume: This system is inadequate for the transport of large volumes of goods and people. Sometimes we can except freight trains, which may be able to carry more cargo than an airplane, although they are still very far from large freighters and ships.
- Distance: Likewise, this system is inappropriate for moving long distances. This, due to the slowness and high cost it would mean in fuel consumption. In this case, the most efficient land system would be the rail system.
