This specialized transportation focuses on the swift and continuous movement of goods, often containers, over short distances. It typically involves transferring cargo from ports, rail yards, or intermodal hubs to nearby warehouses, distribution centers, or other storage facilities. An example would be the immediate pick-up and delivery of imported goods from a port to a distribution center any time, day or night.
The uninterrupted availability of this service is crucial for maintaining efficient supply chains and minimizing delays. Businesses benefit from increased speed and reliability, leading to reduced storage costs and improved inventory management. Historically, limitations in operating hours created bottlenecks, highlighting the need for continuous operation to meet the demands of modern commerce.
