When Road Freight Excels

A fundamental component of the logistics and freight transportation industries, road freight services provide an accessible means of moving goods by road using vehicles such as trucks and vans.   

Connecting cities, towns and regions by providing a crucial land link for the transportation of merchandise, road freight shipments allow businesses to supply their products to a wider market.

There are many advantages to the utilisation of road freight services, these include –

  • Versatility – A vast range of goods can be transported via road freight, including consumer products, raw materials, industrial equipment and more. Road freight shipments are suitable for both large and small cargo.
  • Direct Delivery – In some instances, road freight offers a streamlined means of goods transportation. Merchandise can be simply picked up from a supplier warehouse or shipper location and delivered directly to a customer location without the need for additional transfers.
  • Frequent Service – Road freight services often operate on regular schedules, meaning frequent transit times and goods that can be delivered frequently.
  • Cost Effective – When moving merchandise over shorter distances or regionally, road freight shipments can provide a more cost effective solution to goods transportation.

At EV Cargo, our advancements and innovative technologies have allowed us to overcome some of the most common challenges usually associated with road freight. Our logistics practices ensure that transit is minimally affected by issues such as traffic congestion, weather conditions and capacity constraints.

When Should You Consider Road Freight

Road freight can provide an ideal solution when you require flexibility, fast transit over shorter distances and the transportation of smaller goods which don’t meet the necessary capacity of a full cargo container or aircraft.

Road freight also mitigates the difficulties associated with air and sea freight as there is typically less dependence on shipping ports and airports. By utilising road networks, goods can be easily transported between locations.
