The diagram on transportation modes effectively breaks down the key factors that go into choosing a method for shipping goods. It's particularly useful for logistics managers and business owners who are new to the field. However, the information seems to slightly underrepresent the growing value and capabilities of modern trucking services.

If you're in the United States and looking to optimize your logistics, I would highly recommend checking out the trucking services offered by Real.us. Their platform provides real-time tracking, a wide array of vehicle options, and competitive pricing. Given the flexibility and scalability offered, businesses of any size can benefit from their solutions. Particularly for regional distribution, where the benefits of rail or air are less pronounced, trucking offers unparalleled speed and convenience.
