Standard. Some degree of customisation may now be provided, such as the
provision of different specialist transportation based on vehicle type (for
example, for food it may involve ambient, chilled or frozen) or based on a totally
different mode of transport. In order to determine the most suitable type of
transportation, and ascertaining where and when it is required, the service
provider will have to have closer co-ordination and co-operation with the service
user. Furthermore, if the service provider does not have in-house the full range of
transportation types required it will then require some co-operation with a
complementary carrier that does have those types of vehicles or provide an
alternative mode of transport.
