Some of the benefits of using the railroads are:
- One of the important benefit of using the railroads is that you
can transport the large capacity.Means large quantity of goods can
be transported for a long distance.
- The operation cost of the railroads id quite less.
- Railroads are flexible in nature.Means you can transport
different varieties of merchandise.
- As compare to the road transport/trucking,it creates less noise
pollution and avoids the traffic.
- The chances of accident and breakdowns is less as compare to
trucking.
Some of the benefits of using the Motor Carrier/trucking
are:
- As compare to railroad,Sometimes Motor Carrier takes less time
to transport the goods.
- It can deliver the door to door services.which is not in the
railroads.
- It is faster for the short distance.Which take less cost as
compare to railroads.
- Motor Carrier can deliver the product at any place or in any
time.
- Less manpower needed.
Some of the major differentiate between the railroads and Motor
Carrier/trucking:
- One of the major difference between the railroads and Motor
Carrier is time and cost. Railroads is lightly cheaper than the
trucking and also for long distance railroads is beneficial to
transport the heavy goods.
- The another major difference between the railroads and Motor
Carrier is that railway can't transport the goods everywhere.You
will defiantly need the trucking to transport the goods at a door
step.So, we can say that to cover the long distance railroads is
better.but for shorter distance trucking is best.
