Two things can NOT occupy the same place. You can't park your car in the same place that another car is in. Right?

It is basically a transport document issued by a freight forwarder and acts as a receipt for the cargo, and evidence of a contract between the shipper and the forwarder. It is not a document of title.\nThe forwarder assumes responsibility for your cargo by issuing the FCR.

Mainly because of all the additional variables involved in global logistics. Whenever you transport something over a border you have to consider the legal, political and social environment of the country involved. \n\nAlso, because of the distances involved tracking and control becomes more difficult. For example, ships can run into delays because of bad weather.

I will give you answers, but you must reciprocate.  So before I answer, here's MY question for you -\n\nWhy does a telephone pole?\n\nNow about plane seats.  Don't you realize that parachutes make you float?  That "floatation device" IS a parachute - and not in drag.  If it was in drag, it would have drag lines and then everyone would know what it is!\n\nAnd if you are taking shipments around in your car, then I think some DEA guys will be looking for you.  But of course everyone knows that the only car that could POSSIBLY handle a shipment is one that is so big everyone calls it a "boat"!  \n\nShips carry cargoes so that the worthless second cousin of the ship owner, traveling for free and doing nothing, can be called by the imposing title of "supercargo."  This saves the owner of the ship a lot of money because at sea the useless relative can't borrow the Ferrari, and smash it up and leave it to collect a bizillion dollars in parking tickets.  So, that means the car goes and the supercargo does too.  Get it?\n\nJeez, I gotta do EVERYTHIING myself around here!

It depends on the company, the cargo, and the client. If you are a corporate trucker, typically the loading and unloading is done for you. If you don't want to lift or move your cargo, be a fleet trucker for a large corporation like Hospira, GE, or Honeywell, or even Walmart. They have people who do all that for you.

The main reason behind Just In Time delivery system is to eliminate the need for a wharehouse. This reduces the overall cost, with the trailers becoming the "moving wharehouse". They move the product directly from the manufacture to the car prodcution line.\nToyota was the first large company to sucessfully implement this system. To my knowledge it has not been successfully implemented in India, but may be used in a small way.\n\nProductivity plays a part in that engineers determine how many pieces of each part are needed to build a certain number of cars. The number of parts needed determines how many truck loads have to be delivered from the supplier to the plant and at what times during hte day in order to keep the procduciton line running.\n\nProductivity is kept at a constant number with all the differnt elements making, transporting and using that same number.\nHope this helps.

The invoice, payment of the product. Is it cash on delivery or prepayment. Where is it going the packet. How big is it or what is its weight? How long should it take to get there and what means of transportaion is being used. Bike, Car, Train, Truck, Plane. If it goes by plane what is the sub transport method before it gets to the plane and what is the departure and arrival time. All this must be right because the information has to be keyed into the computer and copies sent to all partied. The same piece of paper is called differernt names after being copied and forwarded to all the locations. The forms have also to be signed to show who received, who deliver, when and how it got there.

Density is important to :\n1. Transporter, because the vehicle has limitation on space (volume) and load. Thats why a transporter always has 2 tariffs. One is volumetric tariff and the other is weight tariff.\nWhen a transporter use only for example weight tariff then he will suffer from revenue if the customer load bulky but light weight material, that full load the vehicle but weigh a little.\n2. Packers, because they need to know size of pack to pack the material\n3. Engineers, scientist to calculate forces etc.\n4. Traders, to check purity of material.

it depends on what you are advertising if you wanted to explain delivery of the item....then transportation available would be more descriptive......but it is hard to advise correctle without knowing the rest of the text involved...

This is a rather ambiguous question.  The function of trucks is to deliver commodities from the supplier to the consumer.  It follows the concept of supply and demand.  If either the supply or the demand drops then the need to ship will go down too.  it is not likely the supplier will  drop production voluntarily since profits are base on production.  The primary way to lower transportation needs is for consumers to lower their consumption demands  which do not seem to be probable since we are a materialistic society.
