The financial and economic activity of any object is unthinkable without interrelatedness with other subjects of the economy. Moreover, the higher the level of development of the economy, the more branched these connections become. These financial and economic processes imply, first of all, the trade (exchange) of material and commodity values. The key to successful activity in this direction is developed logistics connections. However, not every company can afford to maintain its own fleet and logistics department. Turning to a specialized company engaged in the organization of cargo transportation turns out to be a much more profitable option. In the conditions of Russia, transportation across Russia have a number of their own characteristics. Practically all of them are explained by the length of the country and the remoteness of the regions.
It is almost impossible to ensure prompt delivery of cargo, limiting yourself to only one type of cargo transportation. Multimodal transportation is in the greatest demand in Russia. This term refers to the transportation of goods, in the process of which at least two types of vehicles were used. Air, water and land transport is used for multimodal transportation. Cars are necessarily involved in this process, as this is the only means of transport that can deliver cargo "from doorstep to doorstep". Even if railway or air transport is used to cover the main distance, cargo delivery to the station or airport is carried out by cars.
The advantage of ordering multimodal transportation in specialized organizations is that the contractor completely takes over the organization of all work, starting with the coordination of the time of movement of vehicles and ending with the preparation of all necessary documents.
Freight insurance is a mandatory condition for cargo transportation in Russia. Thanks to which, the risks of the sender of the cargo are significantly reduced, because in the event of the death or damage of the goods, its cost will be fully compensated.
A service called "combined cargo" is in great demand in Russia. It allows you to significantly reduce costs when transporting small batches of goods over long distances. In this case, the goods of several senders are loaded into one car, and the delivery cost is shared among all, depending on the number of occupied seats in the car body.
