Trucking, a vital component of the transportation industry, involves the movement of goods from one location to another via trucks. Trucks facilitate the transportation of various products, including perishable goods, dangerous goods, and flammable goods, catering to diverse customer needs. Often complemented by other modes such as air freight or sea freight, trucking plays a crucial role in logistics.
