EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANCE OF TRANSPORT.
Transportation concerns the movement of products from a source ??such as a plant, factory, or work-shop ??to a destination ??such as a warehouse, customer, or retail store. Transportation may take place via air, water, rail, road, pipeline, or cable routes, using planes, boats, trains, trucks, and telecommunications equipment as the means of transportation. Transportation costs generally depend upon the distance between the source and the destination, the means of transportation chosen, and the size and quantity of the product to be shipped.
