This cost-effective method is essential for handling high-volume shipments, making it a vital part of global trade, accounting for around 90% of international cargo movement.

The land transport sector covers a wide range of activities which often have little in common. Some types of transport are highly capital-intensive (rail transport, pipelines), others require relatively little investment (taxis, trucks, coaches). Some employ large numbers of people (a rail company may employ as many as several hundred thousand people) whereas labour costs are of only marginal importance for others (pipelines).

This section describes transportation and delivery in the logistics functions and the core functions of storage and cargo handling. Storage is a typical term and easy to understand, but cargo handling can be more difficult to imagine because it involves loading and unloading at a warehouse or logistics centre, transportation, warehousing management, sorting, and assortment. We need a solid understanding of these functions because they make up a large portion of logistics costs.
