The transport of goods

The most used vehicles for transporting are utility vehicles. An utility vehicle can be a truck, a vehicle for special transport a construction vehicle or a silo vehicle. Silo vehicles are used for the transport of liquid goods in large volumes.
Furniture and palette goods are transported with a truck. Usual trucks have a length of 13 to 18 m depending on the model. An articulated train is used for the transport of cooled goods, palette goods and very long freight.

With a swap body the quick transport of goods is possible. For example the Deutsche Post applies swap body trucks. Only a short stop is necessary when transporting with swap bodies. For bulky goods with high volumes a rigid truck with a trailer or a low liner is suitable. There is also the combined traffic which means vehicles which are able to drive on roads and on rails or on water and air.

There are two kinds of transport areas. First the short-distance traffic which means transports in a more local area. For example like the supply of grocery stores or for parcel service. In the European wide long-distance traffic are trucks and drivers applied which are sometimes several weeks out on the streets. Transports of big grocery stores usually use utility vehicle. Of course there are also other companies which use Europe wide transports. Due to the transport of trucks everywhere in Europe the popular Italian pasta is available. As well fruits and vegetables from Andalusia are transported to German grocery stores with utility vehicles.

Truckers need to regard the driving time regulation which should not be exceeded. Special equipment in the drivers cabin remind the trucker of how long he has been driving and how fast he has been so far. The speedometer is the most modern technology which is fitted into trucks. These are driven by a drivers card which saves the driving and rest period. With this technology the police is able to check if the driver is adhering to the states requirements.

Trucks are only allowed to drive 80 km/h in Germany. For longer trips often two drivers are required. Another variant is the express transport. For these often smaller trucks are used which have a weight of 2,8 to 3,5 tons. The payload varies between 700 and 1500 kg. These vehicles do not succumb a speed limit but the drivers also have to adhere the driving and rest periods. Manufacturers like Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Opel and Fiat are designing these models. The company Easyrent offers them for sale and for rent.
