Road freight transport is the use of motor vehicles to haul goods on a road network as part of the logistics chain. It can include national and international road freight transport, depending on the location where cargo is loaded and unloaded from the commercial road vehicles. Road freight transport is typically divided between long- and short-haul, which influences the choice of vehicle: Vans tend to be more prevalent in urban areas and across short distances, while trucks, due to their size, are used on long-haul trips.
