Road freight service refers to the transportation of goods and cargo by trucks, trailers, or other land-based vehicles. It is one of the most common and cost-effective modes of transportation, offering secure and reliable delivery of goods in short to medium distances over land. Road freight services can be utilized for a variety of items, including perishable goods, machinery, vehicles, and household items. They can be organized as exclusive transport (dedicated truck), consolidated transportation (LTL, or Less Than Truckload), or groupage (if many loads are delivered to nearby locations). Road freight services are often used by businesses to move products to and from warehouses, manufacturing facilities, retail stores, and distribution centers. They are also commonly used for international transportation, either as a door-to-door service for continental shipments or as “pre-carriage” and “on-carriage” services for shipments that involve sea or air transport as well.
