The movement of people, goods, and animals from one location to another by air, rail, road, sea, cable, space, or pipeline is known as transportation. Transportation services are divided into three aspects: infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transportation is very important because it allows communication and trade between two parties.
Although both transportation and logistics deal with getting valuables from one location to another, logistics has added benefits and functions. Logistics executives also have to make decisions dealing with packaging, containerization, documentation, insurance, storage, importing and exporting regulations, freight damage claims, working and collaborating, managing vendors and partners, and risk mitigation. Even though these terms have been used as a substation for each other, the key differentiators are that logistics deals with the integration of storage.
