Know what these mean: TL, LTL, TEU, Reefer, Intermodal |
TL: Truckload shippers -large amounts of goods -fill entire truck *Apple move 40k iPads LTL: Less-than-truckload Shippers -Reasonable amount of goods going to a single location -Not enough fill entire truck/container *Custom Car Inc ship 40 car parts TEU: 20' Equivalent Unit -Measure containerized cargo -1 20' container = 1 TEU -1 40' container = 2 TEU -Measure number of things: amount of break bulk cargo imported in/out of country, size of container ship, amount of cargo that enter/leaves port Reefer: controlled atmosphere (CA) standardized containers -refrigerated -modern CA -controls humidity, air composition, pressure Intermodal: -When cargo moved from one vessel to another w/o directly handling the cargo -Fast, secure -Stored inside a standardized container/truck trailer, move from ship > rail car > truck chassis > etc -Good for ship breakbulk cargo -Stack standardized containers |

Pros and Cons of 4 modes of transportation |
1. ROAD +: Fast, cheap, highly flexible, reasonable and reliable, vital for intermodal, very neutral and reasonable, direct to customer -: Weather, traffic, crime. Need a lot of licensed and reliable drivers. Fuel fluctuates cost. Rules and regulations changes a lot. 2. RAIL +: heavy loads, long distance, cheap, good intermodal ocean/road transport, for low value/weight -: Slooooow, not as easily accessible & available, higher loss b/c vibrations, low reliability b/c not competitive, hard to get directly to customer 3. OCEAN/WATER +: low cost/mile, large, bulky, heavy shipments, almost anything can be shipped with, intermodal rail&/road transport -: VERY SLOW. Low reliability. Exposure to elements and thieves. Hard to get directly to customer. 4. AIR +: Fastest, minimal exposure to risk, good link with road transport to get directly to customer, high value/weight: shipping diamonds -: $$$, not easily link to rail & ocean, no standardized containers, must have accommodating airports |
