What is Land Transport?
Land transport refers to the movement of goods and people via land routes, such as roads and railways. This method of transport, as one of the oldest and most common logistical methods in the world, plays a key role in domestic and international trade. Land transport, due to its high flexibility, extensive accessibility, and ability to transport various types of goods, has always held a special place in the transport industry.
Types of Land Transport
Land transport can be divided into two main categories:
- Road Transport: This type of transport is carried out using road vehicles such as trucks, trailers, and vans. Road transport is one of the most popular methods of land transport due to its easy access to various locations, flexibility in scheduling, and the ability to transport goods door-to-door. It is an ideal option, especially for short and medium distances and for transporting less-than-truckload cargo.
- Rail Transport: Rail transport is carried out via trains and the railway network. Rail transport is very suitable for moving large volumes of goods and heavy shipments due to its high cargo capacity, relatively low cost for long distances, and high safety. It can be very cost-effective and efficient, especially for transporting raw materials, industrial products, and bulk goods.
Feature | Road Transport | Rail Transport |
---|---|---|
Accessibility | Extensive, easy access to various locations | Limited to the rail network |
Flexibility | Very high, flexibility in scheduling and route | Less flexible than road |
Cargo Capacity | Limited | Very high |
Cost | Suitable for short and medium distances | Cost-effective for long distances and high volume |
Speed | Suitable for short and medium distances | Slower than road for short distances, faster for long distances |
Safety | Medium | High |
Suitable For | Short and medium distances, LTL cargo | Long distances, large volumes, heavy shipments |
Advantages and Disadvantages of Land Transport
Advantages of Land Transport:
- Extensive Accessibility: Road and rail networks extend to almost all accessible land areas, enabling the transport of goods to even the most remote regions.
- Flexibility: Land transport, especially road transport, is very flexible in terms of scheduling and route, allowing for the adjustment of transport plans based on customer needs.
- Ability to Transport Various Goods: From small, packaged goods to large and heavy shipments, land transport can handle various types of cargo.
- Suitable Cost for Short and Medium Distances: Compared to other modes of transport, such as air, land transport usually has a lower cost for short and medium distances.
- Door-to-Door Delivery: Road transport enables direct delivery of goods from the origin to the final destination, reducing handling costs and time.
Disadvantages of Land Transport:
- Limited Capacity Compared to Sea Freight: Compared to sea freight, land transport has a lower cargo capacity.
- Susceptibility to Weather Conditions: Adverse weather conditions such as snow, heavy rain, and floods can disrupt land transport, especially road transport.
- Potential for Traffic Delays: Heavy traffic, especially in urban areas and busy routes, can delay the delivery of goods.
- Legal and Regulatory Restrictions: Land transport is subject to traffic laws and regulations and traffic restrictions, which may affect the speed and route of transport.
- Environmental Pollution: Road and rail vehicles, especially older ones, can cause air pollution and produce greenhouse gases.
Applications of Land Transport
Land transport is used in a wide range of industries and economic sectors, including:
- Manufacturing Industries and Factories: Transporting raw materials, parts, and finished products between factories, warehouses, and distribution centers.
- Agriculture and Food Industries: Transporting agricultural products, perishable foods, and livestock from farms and slaughterhouses to markets and processing centers.
- Retail and E-commerce: Distributing goods from warehouses to stores and delivering online orders to customers.
- Construction and Civil Engineering Projects: Transporting building materials, heavy machinery, and equipment required for construction projects.

Less than Container Load (LCL) Shipping
Less than Container Load (LCL) shipping is an ideal solution for transporting shipments that are smaller in volume and weight and do not require filling an entire container. Mobin Asa Tarabar, by providing land LCL shipping services, enables the consolidation of small shipments from different shippers and their joint shipment in one container. This method significantly reduces transport costs and is very cost-effective for small and medium-sized businesses with smaller cargo volumes.

Cost Reduction | Pay only for the space your cargo occupies in the container. |
Suitable for Small Volumes | Ideal for transporting small shipments and trade samples. |
Extensive Access | Ability to ship goods to various locations in Turkey, Russia, and CIS countries. |
Consolidation Services | Consolidation of various shipments and unified dispatch to reduce time and cost. |
Online Cargo Tracking | Ability to track the cargo’s location in real-time and monitor its status. |
Full Container Load (FCL) Shipping
Full Container Load (FCL) shipping means dedicating an entire container to one shipper for transporting their cargo. This method is suitable for transporting large and heavy shipments that require the full container space. Mobin Asa Tarabar, by providing land FCL shipping services, enables the fast and safe transport of your shipments using a modern fleet and experienced drivers. FCL shipping, due to its higher speed and security, is a more suitable option for sensitive shipments and precise scheduling.
