Glossary Discription

Direct transport is a logistics method in which goods are moved from the point of origin directly to the final destination without intermediate stops, transfers, or transshipment through distribution centers or consolidation hubs. The shipment remains on the same vehicle or means of transport throughout the entire journey, eliminating the need for handling at intermediate facilities. This approach prioritizes speed, efficiency, and cargo integrity by minimizing touchpoints between shipper and consignee.
