The time it takes to move merchandise from the source to the consignee is the next essential aspect that companies consider. Many respondents stated that the overall time necessary aids them in planning, forecasting, and satisfying the needs of their clients. When there is a scarcity of an item and demand is great, timely delivery of the cargo becomes critical. Timely delivery guarantees that customers continue with the product and do not look for alternatives, as well as increasing the product's visibility in a specific market or region. Timing is a problem on roads since there are many factors that affect it, such as traffic congestion, vehicle condition, vehicle type, road quality, and so on. In the case of railways and inland waterways, these factors have a less impact on overall freight transportation timing.
