Partial means not whole or part.
It is a technological transportation management aimed at reducing the cost of
the customer or service. It means that the loads of different customers on a
route in a country are delivered to one or a few customs. The word partial is
part of physical distribution in logistics and is also a branch of the
transportation sector. In the transportation sector, transportation services
such as complete, partial, project, and heavy transportation are offered.
Partial Transportation in
terms of Cost
Partial transportation is
advantageous in terms of cost. While renting a complete vehicle can be
expensive, the shipping cost is calculated based on values such as size,
tonnage, and quantity in partial transportation.
Types of Partial
Transportation
Road: It is one of the
logistics transportation methods. It offers distribution in accordance with RUT
planning using road vehicles. It is a commonly used transportation type. The
goods are loaded at the door or a depot. It can be unloaded at one or a few
customs in the destination country.
Air: General partial cargo
transportation is performed. Loading is perfromed at the airport. The goods are
sent by plane. The goods to be transported abroad must be customs cleared.
Sea: Transportation
options are offered in containers. Loading is performed at ports. In Turkey, the
cargos are loaded partially onto the cleared ships.
Rail: It is a rarely used
method. Transportation cost is based on the rente part of the wagon and
shipments are carried out in this way. It is not preferred much because the
transportation areas are limited.
How do we calculate partial road cost?
When calculating the freight, we
take into account 3 criteria.
1)M3 = the area occupied by the
load when loaded into any place or appropriate places inside the truck, that
is, the volume of the load.
2)Loading meter = the area
occupied by the load on the floor of the truck. Allocating space from the
bottom to the top of the truck for that load
3)Load weight = Partial vehicles
are based on an average gross weight of 20 tons.
When making this calculation,
the following values are required from the customer:
Number of containers?
Dimensions in cm of each
container as length x width x height?
The total gross weight of the
loaded packaged load?
Loading location (Will the
customer bring it to our warehouse or will we pick it up from their address?)
All of these values are requested
from the customer.
