In the segment of international transportation, transportation of goods by road is one of the leading positions. Today, it is the most demanded service occupying the main share of the market of cargo transportation worldwide. Russia is connected with Europe and CIS countries by a number of highways, which make it possible to carry out unhindered transportation of a variety of goods. Often this is the only way of transportation that allows delivery to settlements located at a distance from major ports.

This type of transportation has a number of advantages:

• Provides maneuverability of delivery, giving the opportunity to choose the most favorable routes, if in the process of transportation there are force majeure;
• allows you to deliver the goods even in the most remote corners;
• it is possible to transport different types of goods, ranging from consumer goods, ending with the transportation of General cargo, as well as the delivery of dangerous products;
• there is no need to reload the cargo several times;
• relatively small cost for the service.

The main types of cargo transportation by road

The transport of goods by road is such that it is possible only if there is a network of land roads between countries. In addition, the vehicle can be transported by rail or by sea pontoon crossing on a certain segment of the road. It all depends on where in the country the goods are sent. Before reaching the addressee, vehicles with cargo can cross the territory of several States, because not all countries have a direct connection with each other.

The type of transportation depends on what goods are planned to be transported and in what quantity. International transportation is carried out on different modes of transport and has a different type of body: it can be tanks, container ships, refrigerators.

• Refrigerators — a special cooling and heating installation (from lat. Refrigerated), which is mounted on an isothermal van with a volume of 2 m3 to 120 m3 and maintains the temperature inside the van in the range from -30 C to +12 C. As a rule, this installation is used for goods requiring special temperature conditions: dairy products, medicines, fish, meat, seafood, berries, flowers, alcoholic beverages. Due to the necessary temperature conditions that remain inside the van throughout the entire time of the cargo, the products do not deteriorate and are delivered to the addressee in one piece.

Container transportation of goods is divided into two groups:

• LCL - type of container transportation, in which the consignment is less than the container itself. Therefore, one container can be used by several shippers. The cost of delivery is distributed among all customers, which is quite profitable.
• FCL is a type of container transportation where the container is used by only one shipper. It is used among companies engaged in large supplies.

These abbreviations can be combined with each other, it all depends on the conditions of sending. For example, FCL / LCL is used if several consignees receive the same goods from the container. In turn, symbiosis - LCL / FCL means several shippers and one consignee. The combination LCL / LCL – involves multiple senders and multiple recipients.
