Road Freight
Road freight is the transportation of commercial goods and cargo over land using motor vehicles like trucks, lorries, and vans, via the road network. It is a cornerstone of domestic and regional logistics, essential for connecting manufacturing hubs, distribution centers, ports, and final delivery points. It is often the only mode capable of providing true door-to-door service.

- Final/Last-Mile Delivery: The movement of goods from a transport hub to the final customer, often utilizing smaller vans or box trucks for urban delivery.
- Cross-Docking: Directly transferring goods from an inbound vehicle to an outbound vehicle with minimal storage time in between, often relying on efficient road transport for both legs.
- Real-Time Tracking: Providing customers with GPS location and status updates of their shipment throughout the journey.
