Road freight refers to the transportation of goods and materials via roadways using various types of vehicles, such as trucks, vans, and trailers. The process typically involves the following steps:

1. Pickup: Goods are collected from the sender’s location.
2. Transportation: The goods are transported via road networks, which might include multiple stops or transfers between vehicles.
3. Delivery: The goods are delivered to the recipient’s location.

Road freight is versatile and can transport a wide variety of goods, including:

• General Cargo: This includes everyday items such as clothing, electronics, and household goods.
• Perishable Goods: Items that require temperature control, like food and pharmaceuticals, can be transported using refrigerated trucks.
• Bulk Goods: Large quantities of loose materials such as grains, coal, and minerals are transported in bulk carriers.

Road freight offers several advantages:

1. Flexibility: Road transport can provide door-to-door service, which reduces the need for multiple handling of goods and speeds up delivery times.
2. Cost-Effective: For shorter distances, road freight is often more economical than air or rail transport.
3. Accessibility: Road networks reach rural and urban areas, providing extensive coverage that other modes might not.
