Thai logistics tells you about the business model of road transportation

Under the influence of economic globalization, the logistics industry has developed rapidly. Logistics is the process of planning, implementing, and managing raw materials, semi-finished products, finished products, or related information through transportation, storage, distribution, and other means to meet customer needs at the lowest cost, from the source of goods to the place of consumption. We often see logistics nowadays. Let the Thai logistics editor talk about the organization and management of road transportation.

1. Renting vehicles to users, regularly ordering, arranging or using them.

2. According to the transportation contract or agreement, dispatch vehicles to complete transportation tasks, generally used for cargo transportation.

3. Organize regular passenger and freight trains with fixed routes, stations, and schedules. Passenger buses are the main form of highway passenger transportation, while freight buses are the main form of freight transportation, generally zero load freight buses.

4. According to user requirements, schedule and organize the reasonable use of vehicles.

In order to improve the efficiency of road transportation and reduce transportation costs, the organizational forms and methods of road transportation have been continuously developed. Container transportation (see container transportation), towing transportation, centralized transportation, etc. have been widely carried out. Dragging transportation replaces ordinary truck transportation with car trains to increase the load capacity of vehicles. Car trains are composed of tractor trucks or cars and trailers, which can be loaded and unloaded between them. They can flexibly deploy vehicles according to needs and also carry out self dumping transportation.

Dumping transportation refers to loading and unloading once or multiple times on a fixed route, or exceeding the number of cars or tractors, to reach the loading and unloading point. The dumping trailer is used for loading and unloading, and the car or tractor can hang the loaded trailer for shuttle shaped reciprocating transportation.

Centralized transportation refers to the transportation of goods by automobile transport units from shipping points (stations, docks, warehouses, etc.) to multiple receiving points, or from multiple receiving points to receiving points, so that the receiving units do not have to send people to pick up the goods. This not only saves manpower, but also enables reasonable scheduling of vehicles, reduces vehicle empty load, improves transportation efficiency, and creates favorable conditions for the use of automobile trains, special transport vehicles, and loading and unloading machinery.
