IMPROVING THE SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING TRANSPORT SERVICES TO BUSINESS ENTITIES

Abstract

Transport is the most important sector of the economy, specializing in meeting the need for the movement of passengers and goods, and is part of the production infrastructure serving the main sectors of the economy: mining, processing industry and agriculture. Infrastructure also includes communications, energy, and logistics systems. By ensuring the movement of goods, transport makes a significant contribution to the development of foreign economic, scientific, technical, cultural, sports and other relations. In accordance with this, there is a tendency to increase demand for transport services, both in volume and in range, and to separate forwarding services into an independent branch of the transport process. The development of these positive processes, along with growing competition, places additional demands on transport to accelerate the movement of goods, improve the quality of transport services, and reduce the transport component in the final price of the product. This article discusses the regulatory framework and basic provisions of freight forwarding services, documentation of the delivery of goods by various modes of transport and the organization of freight forwarding operations. The presentation of the material is based on knowledge of such disciplines as “Cargo Science”, “General Course of Transport” and “Fundamentals of Logistics”
