Incidentally, the problems associated with the transportation of raw materials and finished products, sometimes significantly complicate the life of novice businessmen. At first it seems that it is more profitable to use your own fleet for these purposes. Say, no one needs to pay anything and nothing needs to be agreed with anyone. But one has only to tackle this issue, as problems begin to arise one after another.
For storage of vehicles need appropriate area. For its maintenance and repair - modernly equipped boxes. Do not forget about the need to purchase spare parts and consumables. In addition, you will have to staff the drivers and locksmiths. It is not difficult to calculate how much the monthly content of even a small own fleet will pour out.
Compare it with the cost of services of a reputable transport organization. As a rule, these costs are noticeably lower. At the same time, you get rid of the need to solve issues that are not peculiar to your business, but necessary for the normal operation of the fleet. There are several other serious arguments in favor of instructing, for example, specialized transport company.
Firstly, professionals will do this job faster. Any serious transport company has its own logistics group, which for each flight is the best route. In a detour "traffic jams", repairing sections of roads and off-road. This is only on paper the shortest direction between the point of departure and destination - direct. This rule does not apply to domestic roads.
Secondly, in the vast fleet of the transport company there will always be cars that are most suitable for transporting your cargo. And you will no longer need to look for difficult solutions for placing products in machines that are not quite adapted for their transportation. Professionals will select the car of the desired class and take care of the reliable securing of cargo in it.
Thirdly, for the transportation of raw materials or finished products you will be allocated a car of the corresponding carrying capacity. And you will no longer need, as is the case with your own fleet, to try to transport a significant amount of cargo in small vehicles. Or put up with periodic underload of large-capacity transport. And the maximum compliance of the car's carrying capacity with the nature of transportation always leads to a decrease in their cost.
