1. Different modes of transportation: different modes of transportation are selected according to actual needs, including automobile transportation, LTL cargo transportation and container transportation. Road freight transportation is only carried out on the road.

2. Different flexibility: Road transportation has fewer links than railway and waterway transportation, and it is easy to organize direct transportation. Because automobile transportation has the characteristics of strong adaptability, flexibility and fast delivery, cargo transportation can be loaded and unloaded at fixed ports and docks.

Can also be in the streets, farmers' markets, towns and other on-site loading and unloading. To achieve "door-to-door" direct transportation. Therefore, in many cases, it is more convenient than other modes of transportation and can better meet the needs of users.

3, different packaging standards, ordinary goods transportation, different modes of transportation have different requirements for packaging. Road freight transportation is relatively simple, and container transportation is usually used.

4. Different costs: judging from the initial investment effect of various modes of transportation, highway construction has less investment and shorter cycle than railway transportation and air transportation;

Judging from the transportation effect of various modes of transportation, the high density of road network and strong adaptability and flexibility of road transportation provide convenient conditions for choosing the best route for automobile freight transportation.

Therefore, in a certain economic region, the transportation distance of goods can be shortened, the turnover cost of goods can be reduced, the capital flow can be accelerated, the time value of goods flow can be improved, the transportation capacity and energy can be saved accordingly, and good social and economic benefits can be achieved.

Matters needing attention in logistics and transportation:

1, transportation logistics is mainly due to the fact that the safety of a large number of warehouses is not up to standard, so we should pay attention to the safety of warehouses and transportation. In particular, some "black warehouses" located in the blind spot of supervision have laid hidden dangers for logistics safety. In order to save costs, some logistics enterprises rent warehouses to pile up goods in relatively remote places without reporting to the fire department, and the security risks are more prominent.

2. Many enterprises have to illegally store hazardous chemicals in ordinary warehouses or even "black warehouses" because they can't find regular warehouses. Not only that, the phenomenon of overload and overrun in the process of logistics and transportation is prominent, especially the supervision of hazardous chemicals is blank. In particular, large-scale instruments are overloaded and seriously overloaded during road transportation because they cannot be disassembled.

3. In addition to objective reasons, it is common for some logistics enterprises and drivers to overload and exceed the limit in pursuit of profits, especially in the process of transporting dangerous chemicals. In addition, the overall quality of safety management personnel is generally not high, and the emergency handling ability needs to be strengthened.

4. If some logistics safety accidents are found in time and handled properly, they can often avoid the deterioration of accidents and thus reduce losses. However, at this stage, the professional level of security personnel is generally not high, the disposal ability is not strong, and the emergency role is relatively limited. Taking the transportation of hazardous chemicals as an example, the escort is responsible for the whole process of loading, transporting and unloading the goods, and should play a supervisory role.

Compared with drivers, the wages of escorts are generally lower, and friction will inevitably occur. Many drivers either don't deserve the escort, or let their families get the escort card to follow the car, and the emergency ability can't keep up. In fact, drivers and escorts are basically the first to escape after many accidents of dangerous chemicals vehicles.
