to deliver goods that only have a short distance to travel, air transportation is the fastest 
option for freight that have a further destination
—it’s even regarded as the best mode of 
transportation for perishable goods for this reason. 
In addition, air 
transportation doesn’t require the infrastructure investment that 
railways do; airplanes fly freely, which means you don’t need to spend the initial cash 
building a pathway to your destination for it to get there! The lack of barriers also 
means that it’s
accessible to all areas, regardless the obstruction of land. However, one 
main disadvantage is that planes can easily be affected by pretty much any type of 
inclement weather. Whether it’s rain, snow, or high winds, your shipment is likely to get 
delayed if any weather condition becomes extreme. 
INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION 
As you’ve probably noticed through reading this post, each method of transport 
has its advantages and disadvantages. What if you could combine the pros of each 
method to create one innovat
ive method? That’s exactly wha
t intermodal transportation 
is. Intermodal transportation offers the best of both worlds: it combines various 
transportation methods to give you the fastest shipping time possible. Not only is this 
method time-
efficient, it’s 
cost-efficient as well. More shippers are taking advantage of 
the option to reap the benefits of the cost savings, environmental benefits, and highway 
safety results. With the lower rates, predictable pricing, standardized transit schedules, 
and flexibility, intermodal transportation is continuing to rise in popularity. 
There are many types of logistics. The most well-known type is sales logistics 
that moves products from the producer to the consumer. In addition, there are a number 
of other types of logistics, such as procurement logistics which is the flow of raw 
materials and parts, production logistics which is the flow of materials inside a factory 
or business, recovery logistics which is the return flow of returns from consumers and 
waste, and recycling logistics which is the flow of recyclable materials. This section 
describes the types and fields of logistics in depth. 
Logistics can be split into five types by field: procurement logistics, production 
logistics, sales logistics, recovery logistics, and recycling logistics. Each of these is 
explained in detail, but first we should learn about logistics fields and types. For 
recovery logistics and recycling logistics, both types are the same up to the recovery of 
goods from consumers, but recycling logistics is the type that recycles the goods that are 
collected. 
Procurement logistics is the flow of goods when the raw materials and parts 
necessary for manufacturing are procured from suppliers. This field did not attract much 
attention before, but now that small-lot production of a variety of models is the main 
type of production, many firms are actively pursuing production by procuring the 
necessary materials in only the necessary amounts at the necessary times (the shift to 
just-in-time production) because it is directly connected to reducing inventory costs.
