How is own account transport well adapted to urban environments?
CRUZ, Cecilia
Own-account shipping is a means for firms to ensure the reliability of their shipments; third
parties' obligations to other clients can cause delays, and urban shipping requires rapidity. It
is a tool firms use to manage complex urban logistics without increasing transport costs
exponentially. For professional transport suppliers, short trips are also less profitable.
