The transportation sector plays an important role in the production of goods and services and contributes to the development of the economy and the creation of added value. So much so that there is a growth in the economies of the countries where the transportation sector grows. In the business world where information technologies are rewriting the rules in Turkey, logistics and transportation occupy an important position. The logistics sector has a great importance in Turkey's target of 2023 foreign trade volume reaching 500 billion dollars. Two transportation models are critical in increasing the share of logistics in GNP: Partial transportation and complete transportation.
What is partial transportation and complete transportation?
The difference between full and partial transport is revealed by the definition of complete transport and partial transport. In partial transportation used by individuals or small-scale companies importing goods from abroad, the cargo belonging to more than one company or person is transported as a combined load with a single vehicle. The complete transportation model, on the other hand, means the transportation of the cargo belonging to a company or person with a single vehicle.
Does the load fill a single vehicle?
In order for transportation to be efficient and advantageous, it is necessary to know which transportation method is advantageous. Knowing whether the cargo to be transported fills a single vehicle or not allows to determine which of the complete and partial transportation models is suitable. If the load to be transported is large enough to fill a single vehicle, full load carrying is advantageous. Partial shipment is advantageous if the load does not fill a single vehicle and the loads of different people are on the same route.
Cost advantage
While the partial transportation freight cost is calculated according to values such as size, tonnage and quantity, the vehicle is rented in complete transportation. Therefore, if the amount or volume of the product to be transported is low, partial transport is more advantageous than complete transport.
Which mode of transport?
Complete transport is usually done by road transport mode. Partial transportation is mostly carried out by land and sea transportation. Containers are shared in maritime transport. In land transportation, waiting and storage costs are cost-effective. In partial transportation, the delivery method is also a determining factor in the cost.
If your goods are large enough to fill a truck, lorry or van, you should choose the complete transportation method, and if you have only a few items, you should prefer partial transportation. You can contact us for more information about complete transportation and partial transportation services.
