In-house or Own account transport
• An organisation uses its own transport fleet to move
its materials i.e. running their own fleets of trucks.
• This has the advantage of flexibility, greater control,
closer integration of logistics and easier
communications.
• Transport can also be tailored to the organisation’s
needs, with the best type of vehicles, fleet size,
delivery schedule, customer service, and so on.
• Own account transport can be expensive and an
organisation should only run its own fleet when it is
cheaper than using a specialist third-party carrier.
