What are the advantages and limitations of land transport?
Land transport is a common and fundamental means of transporting goods and people, and it has a number of advantages and limitations. Here are some of the most relevant ones:
Advantages of land transport
Accessibility and flexibility
Land transportation, especially by road, can reach virtually anywhere, even rural or hard-to-reach areas, making it a very versatile option. It does not depend on specific routes such as rail or sea freight, which gives it great flexibility in terms of destinations and schedules.
Relatively low costs
Compared to other modes of transportation, such as air or sea, land transportation is usually cheaper, especially over short or medium distances. It is also ideal for small or medium-sized loads, as it does not require large infrastructures such as ports or airports.
Speed over short distances
Ground transport is very efficient for deliveries within a small geographical area, especially in the urban context, making it a popular choice for transporting goods to the last mile.
Door-to-door transportation
Ground transportation facilitates the direct delivery of products from the point of origin to the final destination without the need for transshipments or changes in modality, reducing the risk of damage or loss of cargo.
Variety of vehicles
There are different types of vehicles, such as trucks, vans and motorcycles, which allow you to adapt to the specific needs of transport, whether it is large volumes or small and delicate products.
The Best Over-the-Road Services
SPARX provides ground transportation options both in-house and through reliable intermediaries, to cover all your logistics needs.

Container Shipping (FCL)
Typically used in ocean freight and means that a cargo container is completely filled with a single customer's products, without sharing it with other goods.
Full Load Transport (FTL)
Ideal for large volumes of goods, where a truck is dedicated exclusively to the shipment of a single customer, guaranteeing speed and safety in the transfer.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL)
For smaller shipments that don't require a full truckload, optimizing costs by sharing space with other loads without sacrificing efficiency.
Refrigerated Transport
Specially designed for products that require temperature control, such as food, medicines or perishable products, ensuring their preservation during the journey.
Oversized Transport
Aimed at goods of large volume or weight, such as heavy machinery or industrial equipment, with specialized vehicles to handle these loads safely and efficiently.
Transportation of Dangerous Goods
We have units and personnel trained in the handling of chemicals, fuels or hazardous materials, complying with safety standards and specific regulations.
Plateforme de visibilité et de gestion des commandes
Notre plateforme de visibilité en temps réel des marchandises entrant et sortant des stocks, permet un suivi complet de chaque commande. Il garantit que les produits sont sélectionnés dans la bonne quantité et expédiés à la bonne destination sans erreur. De plus, il offre l'accès à de la documentation telle que des instructions d'utilisation, une confirmation de réception et des photos des produits endommagés.
Limitations of land transport
Geographical
Although land transportation has wide coverage, it cannot overcome natural barriers such as mountains or large bodies of water, which limits its reach in certain areas. This may make it necessary to use other modes of transport (rail, sea, air) to cover greater distances or specific regions.
Traffic conditions and delays
Traffic, roadworks, accidents, or adverse weather conditions can significantly affect the punctuality and safety of deliveries. These unforeseen factors can lead to delays and increase operating costs.
Variable costs
Although generally cheaper than air freight, ground transportation costs can vary depending on the price of fuel, toll rates, and labor costs, which can make it less predictable.

Intermodal transport is a transport system that uses more than one mode of transport to move goods from the point of origin to the final destination, without the cargo changing containers. This system combines different means of transport such as land (truck, rail), sea, air and river, among others, to take advantage of the advantages of each one at different stages of the journey.
Some of the benefits you can get are:
Cost reduction
Intermodal transportation allows you to use the most economical and efficient mode of transportation on each leg of the journey. For example, rail transport is usually cheaper than road transport for long distances, while lorry may be more efficient for shorter distances or for the last mile to the final destination.
Increased efficiency and speed
By combining different modes of transport, transit times can be minimised and flexibility increased. For example, while ships cross oceans more slowly, rail or truck can make faster deliveries within countries.
Better cargo management
The use of standard containers makes it easier to load and unload goods, making processes faster and less prone to errors. This also reduces the risk of damage to the goods, as cargo does not need to be transferred between different containers.
Carbon footprint reduction
By opting for modes of transport such as rail or sea, which are more efficient in terms of CO2 emissions compared to road or air transport, the intermodal system contributes to sustainability and the reduction of the carbon footprint thus generating less pollution.
Greater flexibility in routes and options
Intermodal transport allows access to alternative routes, especially when there are interruptions in some mode of transport. In addition, intermodality facilitates access to a larger network of destinations, as some modes of transport have global coverage.
