Summary

This text tells us about the importance of analyzing the means and modes of
transport, costs and other variables existing when transporting our products, tells
us that it does not matter if it is a small business, or if on the contrary it is an
average company na or large, it is important to know that at some point we will
need to transport our product, and we need to know what the right way and means
to do so is; to define what is the correct mode and means we must take into
account the budget available for such an operation, in addition to the nature of the
product to be transported, another important factor is the time that is available to
deliver the goods.

It is important to analyze whether it is necessary to have insurance for the goods,

we decide according to the nature of the goods, if we see that it is necessary we
must take into account the trading term used to see for whom they run, and see
make sure the terms are clear so as not to be inconvenienced in case something
happens.

The differences between each mode of transport must be taken into account, if it is
intended to be transported by road, it should be taken into account that, although it
is indeed economical and flexible, time-related and other setbacks may occur; in
addition some restrictions on weight, height and length.

We also have rail transport is fast, environmentally friendly and not (always)
subject to congestion or delays, but it is very expensive, it is said that the easiest
way to ship your products by rail is to buy a rail transport package to through a
cargo operator (FOC), a terminal operator or a third-party logistics company.
