Third-party carriers
• Specialised transport companies offer a range of
services to other organisations.
• The advantage of this arrangement is that specialised
companies run the transport, leaving the
organisation to concentrate on its core operations.
• By using their skills and expertise the transport
operators can give better services, or lower costs
than own account transport.
• They might also be large enough to reduce costs
through economies of scale, and they can get a
number of operational benefits.
