What vehicle is the most cost-effective for transportation?

The most suitable type of vehicle for transportation depends on the size, weight, and nature of the cargo to be transported. In general, smaller, lighter goods are best transported by light trucks and vans, while larger, heavier items require trucks and lorries. When selecting a vehicle for transportation, the following considerations should be taken into account:

- The size and weight of the cargo: The structure must be adequate to securely transport the cargo.

- The nature of the cargo: Certain goods require special handling, such as refrigeration or heating. The vehicle must have these features if transporting such types of goods.

- The transport distance: The vehicle must have the appropriate range to cover the transport distance.

- The transport costs: The operational costs of the vehicle affect freight prices and profitability. It is advisable to consult with an expert to choose the most suitable vehicle for transportation.

An important factor is what business relationships you have and which vehicles you can operate most economically. There should be regular contracts, as relying solely on the use of Freight Exchanges is not economical for transportation; however, Freight Exchanges provide an excellent tool for complementing regular contracts.

Most larger vehicles can only enter urban areas with a special permit. This should also be taken into consideration.

The loading options are very important. If you do not have large corporate or depot contracts, it would not be advisable to start a business with articulated vehicles. There is likely the greatest demand for lift-gate vehicles, which can be used in multiple ways, but this is not always the case, and it cannot be generalized.

If there are no concrete contracts, it might be worth starting with freight organization and later, when the client base has developed, to build a vehicle fleet accordingly.

If you are looking for a carrier, you can easily, quickly, and without obligation obtain quotes from carriers through the Freight Exchange. By posting transportation request(s), you can save time and money. You can compare the received quotes and, if applicable, accept the best offer.
