Different types of trucks for road transport
Trucks are considered as one of the primary means of transport. In this type of transportation, we ship goods and products by truck. Transporting with trucks is actually a bridge between producer and consumer. Until the early nineteenth century, trucks played a very important role in helping countries develop economically through the equitable distribution of wealth and jobs between cities and villages.
Road transport accounts for more than 80% of the world’s transport volume, most of which is done by trucks. More than 6,000 billion tons of goods are transported through Europe, the United States, the CIS, China, and Japan.
They can easily travel on many routes and at all times (regardless of weather conditions and seasonal changes).
