Transportation rationalization The vehicle :every kind of transportation has its advantages and disadvantages. Try to choose the model transportation which is the most economic, sufficient and convenience. Match the feature of the goods The timing of the transportation-speed up the vehicle turnover, give full play to the transportation power The charge The transportation scale:the larger scale charge, the less freight charge, share the expense
