Why once people began to build roads? When it makes sense to produce goods? What is this assembly load?
It needs to be delivered somewhere!
The Roman Empire, when she won new territories, the first thing she did there was to laid the roads. Even then, great minds realized that no one needed the territory if it is impossible to get there. Today everyone understands that producing goods for territories where they cannot be delivered-if this is not nonsense, then something is very unproductive, and often just a loss.
Perhaps that is why the delivery of prefabricated goods became such a demanded. After all, its essence is precisely in the fact that a load is delivered to one point of the route from several owners at once.
Success — in the organization.
Of course, the existence of this type of transportation implies the presence of special warehouses. They are also called consolidated. It is there that small parties of the goods that have one arrival point are combined into one rather large batch and loaded on one or another transport, depends on the specifics of the route — a container ship, passenger train or transport aircraft. However, modern practice has shown that the most massive use has a place to be in road transport.
The success of this type of transportation, of course, is in the correct organization. Because here any small mistake will be able to lead to the fact that the load will be very far from the necessary destination, and it will be quite difficult to return it for a long time.
