INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS (Highway Freight Calculation Methods)

In our globalizing world, in an environment of ruthless competition, logistics is an increasingly important sector. An efficient and effective logistics sector provides a cost advantage especially to exporting companies in a competitive environment, while making positive contributions to the growth of countries. Although it is very important that the logistics sector can work efficiently and offer economical prices, many countries cannot achieve successful results in this regard. At this point, although our country is located in a very important geographical region and has an important logistics infrastructure, it has not been able to improve its logistics service quality since 2007. According to the performance index ranking made by the World Bank every two years according to 6 different criteria, Turkey was in the 34th place in 2007, but today it has regressed to the 47th place. There are various reasons for this, but one of them is that the personnel working in the sector do not have sufficient knowledge.
The book contains all the information needed by the personnel working in the logistics sector and is a work that prepares university students for the sector. In particular, freight calculation, which is one of the most important issues in road transport, is given a special place and explained in great detail. In addition, delivery methods, payment methods and combined transportation issues were also explained in detail. It is aimed that the book will make significant contributions to all logistics personnel and students.
