balance between time and budget or customers with great satisfaction.

Points to consider when choosing the mode of transport:

The budget: must be taken into account as the main point in decision making.
Transport speed: the expiration date of the product to be dispatched must be taken
into account.
Reliable transportation: to have satisfied customers.
Transportation of dangerous products: report to the branch of the Department of
Transportation of Dangerous Goods and follow the proposal.
Product insurance: in case they are very expensive.
